This is a brand new network, so NO hosts, NOT even internet is connected, just my laptop connected via a console cable, and a ASA5510 is connecting to the new 4510 via ONE staright cable. And as soon as they two got connected, can ping to each other, massive input errors showed up on ASA interface. the 4510 if didn't get errors, but also showed massive packets were sent/recieved.
This is show inter on the ASA 1 sec after I cleared the interface.

So over 33K packets and almost all errored over 1-2 seconds. and no broadcast.
Tried different cables, no luck. and connected the ASA and the 4510 to my laptop separetedly on the same ports, no issue at all. monitor the traffic between they two, couldn't see many packets. and after reboot they were cool, no errors, no massive packets sending, until I sent a ping comand, then they went crazy.
Any clue?
Thanks a lot.
