  • Hello ,

    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

    Thanks & Regards,
