I have a Cisco 2821 with a Etherswitch WIC connected to an ISP router and a network switch and for a couple of days now the WIC dropped it's connection to the LAN. Reloading the router solves the issue until the next day. I checked the logging on the router and nothing. I was able to ping the virtual interface on the router while directly connected via the console. All virtual and physical interfaces were up. However, I wasn't able to ping anything on the local network. There were no crash logs on the server. How can I troubleshoot this issue?
The only explanation I had is that I had the WIC interface connected to a gigabit port. Would that cause problems--connecting a 10/100 WIC to a Gigabit port on another switch???

On the interface in question, it is running half duplex which is why you are seeing the collisions you will need to correct this and you collisions should go away. make sure both ends are setup the same way as this could also be a duplex mismatch.

Here's the show interfaces. What concerns me are the collisions and interface resets.

I suspected this and called my ISP since I have no control over their router.
05-13-2010 12:53 PM
What is the confiruration of the interface on your side?
Auto/Auto
or
Hard set speed and duplex?
Mike
05-13-2010 12:58 PM
I didn't configure the speed, so I assume it's auto. I did however configure it as spanning-tree portfast.
05-13-2010 01:06 PM
Just confirmed that ISP is having collisions and CRCs on their end as well.
05-13-2010 01:08 PM
My guess is that is your side is set to Auto is that thier side is set to 100/full which will cause a duplex mismatch.

Is the affected interface FastEthernet0/3/0? It's using half duplex with output errors & collision!!!

Have you tried hard coding duplex on both sides?
05-13-2010 01:15 PM
Actually this is 10g port, cannot change speed/duplex. I don't see input errors.

sorry , reply to wrong thread. I am new.

What confuses me is that I also lose connection on the LAN side. Will do "speed 100" "duplex full" on it tonight.
05-14-2010 06:09 AM
After modifying the speed settings, the errors were still there. The ISP was getting CRCs on their end of the connection though and so we ended up changing the cable which eliminated the errors. Hopefully this solves the connection drop issue.
