serial error ,CRC

hello

I have input , CRC and abort error in my 1721 router as shown below:

Serial0 is up, line protocol is up

Hardware is PowerQUICC Serial

Description: NSTT IRQ-MSL-003 TX

Interface is unnumbered. Using address of FastEthernet0 (xx.xx.xx.xxx)

MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1544 Kbit, DLY 20000 usec,

reliability 167/255, txload 7/255, rxload 1/255

Encapsulation HDLC, loopback not set

Keepalive not set

Last input 05:44:10, output 00:00:00, output hang never

Last clearing of "show interface" counters 20:36:05

Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 8394

Queueing strategy: fifo

Output queue: 0/40 (size/max)

5 minute input rate 0 bits/sec, 0 packets/sec

5 minute output rate 47000 bits/sec, 83 packets/sec

7 packets input, 107 bytes, 0 no buffer

Received 5 broadcasts, 0 runts, 32 giants, 0 throttles

15793503 input errors, 862934 CRC, 6227491 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored, 870

3078 abort

5709557 packets output, 657639227 bytes, 0 underruns

0 output errors, 0 collisions, 0 interface resets

0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out

0 carrier transitions

DCD=down DSR=up DTR=up RTS=up CTS=up

I used the router to recieve internet service , I check the cables , ( CAB-530MT= 72-0797-01) and I think that it is ok ,and I shielded it too.

when I remove the ethernet cables from the other interface the CRC error and the input error , are increased at constant value ( ie. the error is the same with or without the load).

I made several tests as the cisco toubleshooting books say , but it seem ok.

oh , one more thing , how can I know the ratio of error , over the traffic , cause in cisco troublshooting book said that when CRC increase 1% that mean it is a problem , how can I know that percent.

despite that the CRC error increase with or without the traffic , as I said , before .

thanx in advace

Have you had the telco check your circuit? This could definitely be a circuit issue. Try checking your CSU for errors as well.

Hope this helps

The reliability % is the key to look at here, it is 167/255 which is horrible. This all comes down to a physical line problem. What you need to do is start doing loops along the circuit path. Have the telco loop you at the CSU/DSU, and see if your reliablity starts to go back up. Just do a clear counters after the loop and see if the input errors and such do not increase, if they do then you have an in house problem. Otherwise keep putting loops in the circuit till you hit the other router, you will find the issue somewhere along the line. If you have a spare cable or serial card, replace them for S&G's to see if that solves the problem.
