Received drops

Hello antaln07,

Thank you for reaching out to the community. basically it is the graphical representation of the rx drop on the interface when you see the output of the ifconfig command from the advance shell, say for example: this is PortF1 then you may execute the command as: ifconfig PortF1
Packet Dropped seen from ifconfig could be due to many reasons, you should dig deeper into NIC statistics to figure out real reason. Below are some general reasons

• NIC ring buffers getting full and unable to cope-up with incoming bursts of traffic
• CPU receiving NIC interrupts is very busy and unable to process
• some cable/hardware/duplex issues...etc

Thank you for the reply.

I did it from console but got error.
Can you show an example on this?

thanks

Hey antaln07,

As I cleared mentioned above execute the command from the advance shell and not from the console shell:
Login to the putty session via ssh > press 5 for the device management and then press 3 for the advance shell !

Yes, I did what you said, this is the situation.


Thanks..

Please vote up with verify answer if it has helped antaln07  !

Could the problem be some   Sfp/cable/hardware/duplex issues...etc?

Could be any of the following reasons also could be the one you mentioned or also on peer appliance's port as well !
