Pix interface error

I'm having no buffer and overuns errors

in 2 giga interfaces

I cheched the speed from both sides and that's the same.

In the switch, this error doesn't occur.

Someone can help me to solve this issue?

Thank you.

"no buffer" error typically means that the PIX interface is overloaded: The number of received packets discarded because there was no buffer space in the main system, and same goes for "overruns": The number of times that the security appliance was incapable of handing received data to a hardware buffer because the input rate exceeded the security appliance capability to handle the data.

Which PIX did you have and what version of PIX are you running? You might look into getting an ASA with bigger capacity that can handle more connections.

Here is the ASA models if you are interested:

Hope that answers your question.
