Is there a way to identify source of runts?

mmillington_nal

Level 1

I am getting input errors/runts on 2 of my gigabit interfaces that connect to our WAN service provider's network. In relation to total packets, its not a large number, so its probably not a big deal, but I'd just like to find the source so I stop seeing the errors in Solarwinds. Our service provider says that they don't see any errors on their side, but the errors are incoming to us.

I've tried to capture the traffic with Wireshark, but discovered that often these packets are either discarded or padded by NICs so Wireshark will not see them, or at least will not see them as undersized.

Is there any other way I can capture these packets so I can find the source and figure out how to stop them? Our equipment is 3750G running 12.2(55)SE. Its not a trunk port. I know there was a bug in prior IOS that would cause some frames to be marked as runts even though they were forwarded successfully.

TIA,

Matt

Hi Matt,

Can you post the output of the following commands:

1.  sh interface ;

2.  sh controller ether ; and

3.  sh version

FYI:  12.2(55)SE is an IOS train I would not recommend.  Use the "higher" train, 12.2(55)SE5 or SE6.

Thank you Leo. What are the differences between the SE train and the SE5 or SE6 train? I've never really understood the differences in the trains.
