Huge broadcast counters and input/output errors without drops

Hi. Trying to make an aggregated port (two 1Gb links)

asr1001x <-----> juniper ex4200

Juniper side reports that there are no issues (no drops or errors). But cisco port-channel shows some crazy output.

 

asr1.core#sh int port-channel 1
Port-channel1 is up, line protocol is up 
  Hardware is GEChannel, address is 4001.7aa9.bfc0 (bia 4001.7aa9.bfc0)
  MTU 1500 bytes, BW 2000000 Kbit/sec, DLY 10 usec, 
     reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255
  Encapsulation 802.1Q Virtual LAN, Vlan ID  1., loopback not set
  Keepalive set (10 sec)

Such value shows as soon as I reset counters. The only similar issue with such error - https://bst.cloudapps.cisco.com/bugsearch/bug/CSCsj27761/?rfs=qvred and actually referring a switch and an old IOS.

Both interfaces on port-channel 1 are showing some unknow protocol drops:

For now traffic is passing through the aggregated link without problems though I need to test how load balancing is working, but I think it's not important/related right now. Just wanted to clear things out on those errors.

Hi Vudex,

 

Looks like the user in the below post was having similar issues:-

 

https://community.cisco.com/t5/switching/unknown-protocol-drops/td-p/1064330

 

Could DTP be the cause of the drops?

I guess it can't, because I have a Juniper switch on the other side of the link which doesn't support DTP.
