6506-E randomly not forwarding packets

[bmcginn]

HI all,

I have a 6506-E here that randonly drops packets and I'm trying to find out why.

When debugging ip packets (debug ip packet 52), I found a whole lot of these:

May  4 22:42:14: pak 5007BF54 consumed in input feature , packet consumed, MCI Check(55), rtype 0, forus FALSE, sendself FALSE, mtu 0
May  4 22:42:14: pak 5008C488 consumed in input feature , packet consumed, MCI Check(55), rtype 0, forus FALSE, sendself FALSE, mtu 0
May  4 22:42:14: pak 46A3E474 consumed in input feature , packet consumed, MCI Check(55), rtype 0, forus FALSE, sendself FALSE, mtu 0

May  4 22:42:14: pak 5007624C consumed in input feature , packet consumed, MCI Check(55), rtype 0, forus FALSE, sendself FALSE, mtu 0

The problem with this is, today's date is the 5 May.   The clock on the device shows the right time, but these debugs aren't.

Also, does anyone know if this debug output is normal?

Thanks in advance,

Brad

Brad,

Are you running IPsec on this router?

How do you know it is dropping packets?

Are you sure about the date? Today is May 4th and debug shows May 4th also.

Hi,

There was a FWSM in that device and it was playing up.  I've had it RMA'd and will be installing the new one tomorrow.

Apologies for the delay. 

To answer your question, 'how do I know the packets were being dropped?'  I ran a capture on the exiting interface via a span port with wireshark.  traffic was heading into the device, but not exiting

Thanks for the response.
