Hi Guys,

These days some our PE  routers showing the EOBC0/0 Transmit errors, attached the graph reference, any one have idea why this is happening.

Hi Saji,

there is nothing worriesome about those stats.

Which NMS tool do you use, Solarwind by any chance?

Which exact counter are you referring to as an error?

Do you have error messages in the sys log?

Which IOS is your 7600 running?

In general there is no benefit in monitoring EOBC as this is an internal port which cannot be configured or tweaked anyway. Also EOBC is a shared half duplex medium used for communication between Sup/RSP and line cards. Only management traffic goes through it meaning that there is no impact for system performance. As a shared half duplex medium collisions and errors are expected every now and then.

If you don't see any sys log related to EOBC you don't have anything to be worried about.
