Hello All,
I'm somewhat confused by what I am seeing on several of our Edge network routers. They are Cisco 887VA routers with the built in DSL Modem and we have just recently started monitoring the DSL line statistics with SNMP and have noticed an odd issue.
When I do a show controllers vdsl 0 command I am seeing crc errors in the line stats (see below), however the speed and noise margins are within acceptable limits. These statistics were generated over the last ~24 hours. However, I am not seeing any associated packet loss within our monitoring tools or errors on the ATM interface. I have the issue on multiple devices and there are two different versions of firmware running on the controller A2pv6C032b.d23i and A2pv6C035j0.d23j

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what might be causing these errors, I am just looking to understand what is happening, despite the fact that it does not seem to be having an impact on network quality.
