Hello Golan,
>> 268678717 packets input, 2538389555 bytes
Received 1246 broadcasts, 0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles
2083 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored
2083 errored packets over 268678717 is not a real issue

thanks
but for me its real issue,can i change it to ZERO ?
the reason is 2083 becuase there is no traffice,but if the traffic growth as the same the input error are growth toghter.
thanks golan

Hello Golan,
I understand
what hits my attention is that the input error should appear under one category like ignored or CRC error or runt.
in your show we don't see this, the errors do not belong to a known category.
This doesn't help in finding a solution
I would focus on flow control: the server may be moving packets too fast for the router
Hope to help

thanks
but how can check it?

I would issue the clear counters command and then monitor the interfaces to see if the input errors increment again.

In networking there is no such thing as "for me".
Things are what they are, not what you want them to be.
As Giusepped correctly stated, the error ratio is so small to be negligible, and has to be ignored. I have rated his post.
