Hi, I have 2900 series router and I see increasing input errors and overruns but 0 CRC. is this physical cable issue or something else and how we can resolve this?
5 minute output rate 5914000 bits/sec, 988 packets/sec
49621095 packets input, 4017356338 bytes, 0 no buffer
Received 12256 broadcasts (0 IP multicasts)
0 runts, 0 giants, 1077 throttles
227 input errors, 0 CRC, 0 frame, 227 overrun, 0 ignored

Any suggestion and setting for correction?

Ah, your stats do reveal router is unable to always keep up with input.

Solution please if anyone can provide.

This Gi 0/0 connected to Internet and it is 10 MB link.

run flow control in interface connect to your LAN,
this issue because the LAN traffic is higher than the WAN capability, you face output drop and overrun in router.
make LAN slow down the traffic send.
if this not solve issue then sure you need QoS.
@Joseph W. Doherty is better one how can suggest the best QoS for your case.

Will it cause any outage or glitch? Whats the exact command please. i could find flow-sampler on interface level

policy-map Shape_1G <<- apply this into interface that have overrun.
class class-default
shape average xxxx
@Joseph W. Doherty can you help me in decided the best value for shape average.

Thanks MHM Cisco Wold. Joseph W Doherty if you can give the value please.

Shaping often would help in situations like this, but to use shaping, as it's egress only, we would need to apply it to the device on the other side of the port having ingress capacity issues. (The latter the reason why I asked about what the other side device is, and does OP have management access to it.)
However as interface stats show interface running at gig, but OP says it's 10 Mbps, another way to "shape" egress (and ingress!!!) is to run the Ethernet link at 10 or 100 Mbps (assuming other side can too). 10 Mbps, would, I'm 99.99% sure, remove ingress stress, and works better than a software shaper, for egress, but it could push traffic to queue on the other side device (and we don't know [yet?] how well that device would process the possible additional queuing). Also, I don't know, yet, whether 10 Mbps is both up and down and what QoS policy is applied to g0/0 as I also see "Queueing strategy: Class-based queueing" in interface stats.
Possibly running interface at 100 Mbps would reduce any ingress gig burst stress, and for egress, we can shape for 10 Mbps (again the latter, i.e. software shaping, not as "good" as running the interface at 10 Mbps, but such is often the case when making trade-offs).
There are other wady to mitigate some of the ingress issues, such as increasing in hold-queue and/or changing SPD parameters (I've experience in both, but don't know if latter supported on these ISRs), or even obtaining a more "powerful" router (another interesting stats would be CPU history), but if CIR is only 10 Mbps, running across a gig link, physically slowing physical bandwidth, to 100 Mbps, avoids getting into more complex configurations and also still provides a way to easily still increase CIR (?), well at least up to 100 Mbps (if you want to really run at gig rates, you'll want a more "powerful" router [which, BTW, what model 2900 is this?]).

10 Mbps, both directions?
What's kind of physical device is on the other end of g0/0? Do you have management access to it?

Gi 0/0 is connected to ISP with 10 Mbps. Gi 0/1 is LAN side 1000
03-22-2023 05:26 AM
I will check the solution for this bottleneck.

To confirm, g0/0 is physically running at 10Mbps, also full duplex?
Re: g0/1 running at gig, Cisco recommends the 2921 for up to 50 Mbps (duplex) traffic. Cisco has benchmarked the 2921 of being able to hit about 3.3 Gbps, but that's with 1500b packets and doing nothing beyond just moving those packets. When you start to mix in smaller packets and/or doing "things" to your traffic, transfer rate falls and falls, which is why Cisco recommends limiting router to supporting just 50 Mbps. (Cisco documents total throughput of 105 Mbps doing "NAT + QoS + ACL Performance, IMIX Traffic at 75-Percent CPU".)
If g0/0 is truly physically running at 10Mbps, you might try also running g0/1 at 100 or even 10 Mbps.
[edit]
PS:
You never identified the 2900 model, as requested, beyond noting it has gig interface, which I recall (?) came on the 2921 and 2951. If a 2951, Cisco recommends it for up to 75 Mbps. Again, these, 2900s, are not gig capable routers (which often leads to the question, why any have gig interfaces. [Possibly because 3x interfaces where very little, if any, more expensive to use than 2x interfaces.])
