I can't find any information (bug Navigator, technical tips, CCO documentation, etc.) which I understand about Underruns in the output of the command
"show interface FastEthenet 0/X" for a Catalyst 3500XL.
I have the next output in some of my ports:

I can't understand why I'm having Underruns and for this I assume are the output buffer failures.
Does Underruns meant those frames that the switch port can't handle because it hasn't buffers?
what are causing in this case overruns?, there isn't any excesive utilization with this switch port, very low indeed, or any speed mismatch, and you can see only 280 broadcasts.
