2960 High Output Drops

rhornberger
Level 1
Level 1

I've been doing some searching around and can't seem to come up with a good solid answer here.  I have quite a few 2960's in a manufacturing environment that are experiencing a large number of Total Output Drops.  The gigabit uplinks arn't even close to fully subscribed and if I'm lucky they run at a peak of 4 - 5 Mb on a 1Gb uplink.  Something really funky is going on.  The individual switchports seem to have the total output drops and the uplinks at 1Gb do not have any output drops and never peak above 20Mb over a 3 month span on a 1Gb link.  Quite frustrating.  Please see my counter's below, I'm definitly up for suggestions!

What is the uptime of the switch? Can you post a 'show version' ?

Are you noticing any performance issues ?

Yea,

I've been getting calls about spotty/slow performance and the common link is the people connected to the 2960's.  I wonder if there is a bug in this code as the ones that have this issue predominantly seem to be running this code.  I think there is only one newer version out yet however...

SHOW BUFFERS ANALYSIS

ERROR: Since it's last reload, this router has created or maintained a relatively
large number of 'Big buffers' yet still has very few free buffers.

ERROR: Since it's last reload, this router has created or maintained a relatively
large number of 'VeryBig buffers' yet still has very few free buffers.

The above symptoms suggest that a buffer leak has occurred.

BUFFER LEAK: When a process is finished with a buffer, the process should free the
buffer. A buffer leak occurs when the code forgets to process a buffer, or forgets
to free it after.
It is done with the packet As a result, the buffer pool continues to grow as more
and more packets are stuck in the buffers. Some routers (for example, 2600, 3600,
and 4000 Series) require a minimum amount of I/O memory to support certain interface
processors.
Not Enough Shared Memory for the Interfaces.
NOTE:
(1)Some of the Public Buffer pools should be abnormally large with few free buffers.
After a reload, you may see that the number of free buffers never gets close to
the number of total buffers.
(2)You should check the buffers on a regular basis. Some leaks are slow but others
are very fast.
(3)If you configure or access the router through telnet,you need to check the buffers
on a regular basis via remote access (telnet) before the router hang to see in
which pool is the leak. Once you see that for one pool the total number is increasing
and the free number is low (the faulty pool), you need to capture a 'show buffer
pool  dump'. But if you don't have any memory available on the box, it's too late
to collect the information . You have to collect the information before the hang.
TRY THIS:
Router is running low on shared memory, even after a reload, physically removing
interfaces solves the problem.
This could be a Cisco IOS software bug. Upgrade to the latest version in your release
train to fix known buffer leak bugs. For example, if you are running Cisco IOS
Software Release 11.2(14), upgrade to the latest 11.2(x).
If you need assistence in the IOS upgradation and software download, please check
the below URL: Software Download Center
Commands to check the additional information about the content of the buffers:
show buffer pool (small - middle - big - verybig - large - huge): shows a summary
of the buffers for the specified pool.
show buffer pool (small - middle - big - verybig - large - huge) dump: shows a hex/ASCII
dump of all the buffers of a given pool.
show tech-support of the router.
How can we identify the pool encounters a problem:
(a) If number of misses & creates increases at high rate (as a % of hits)
(b) If consistently low number of buffers in free list
(c) If number of failure or number of  memory increases
REFERENCE: For more information see Troubleshooting Buffer Leaks
REFERENCE: For more information see Troubleshooting Memory Problems

INFO: The buffer counters can be cleared only by reloading the router.

INFO: Interfaces use the 'interface buffer' pools for input and output (I/O). When
there are no more buffers in the interface buffer free list, the router goes to
the public buffer pools as a fallback. Performance is not affected in case of a
fallback. Interface buffers should not be tuned.

Here is the output field terminology for the 'show buffers' command:
  - HITS: The number of buffers that have been requested from the buffer pool.
    This counter provides a mechanism to determine which pool must meet the
    highest demand for buffers.
  - MISSES: The number of times buffers have been requested, but the processor
    has detected a demand for additional buffers, and has been forced to create
    them. Thus this counter represents the number of times the router has been
    forced to create additional buffers.
  - MAX-ALLOWED: The maximum number of buffers in the free-list. If the number of
    buffers 'in free list' is greater than the 'max-allowed' value, the router will
    attempt to trim buffers from the pool. The 'max-allowed' parameter is used to
    prevent a pool from monopolizing buffers that it does not need anymore and free
    this memory back to the system for further use.
  - FREE-LIST: The number of buffers in the pool, ready for use.
  - MIN: The minimum number of buffers from the pool at any given time.
  - TRIMS: When the value 'in free list' exceeds that of 'max allowed' the processor
    trims the buffers.
  - CREATED: The number of buffers that are created when the free-list is less
    than the minimum buffers allowed, or is of zero value.
  - FAILURES: The number of failures met by the packets when there was a failure
    in an attempt to create buffers even after additional buffers were created.
    This counter represents the number of packets that have been dropped due to
    buffer shortage.
  - TOTAL: The total number of used and unused buffers.
  - PERMANENT: Identifies the permanent number of allocated buffers in the pool,
    that cannot be trimmed away.
  - NO MEMORY: The number of failures caused by insufficient memory to create
    additional buffers.
  - INITIAL: The temporary buffers allotted during system reload and for session
    establishments.
  - MAX-FREE & MIN-FREE: The maximum and minimum number of free buffers.

Hi,

Can you clear the counters and post a 'show int fa0/10' and 'show plat port-asic stat drop' taken at a few different times? Let's check how fast these counters are incrementing.What is connected on this switchport?

Can you please post the command output of "sh controller ethernet "?

Here is the info requested from both of you.  I'm going to clear the counters and collect data over the course of the morning in the form below.  These are

just average run of the mill PC's.  The users just enter part orders so they arn't doing any file transfers, etc.  As I noted also the gig link never appears to go above 20Mb on a 1Gb link, so I havn't convinced myself that it could even be burst traffic (especially given the user functions and the high number of ports experiencing the drops across these various 2960's).

So whatever is connected to Fa0/10 is a PC?  It looks like the switch is pushing data  as much as it could but the PC could only take a fraction.  Like feeding someone with a shovel and the person just vomits. 

Yep, just a standard HP PC just like port 7 or any of the other ports.  I'm monitoring throughput within Solarwinds on a 30 second interval and I'm not seeing any bandwidth spikes.  This isn't the only 2960 we have that's doing this.  I started the interval data collection this morning.  As soon as the counter increases, I'll post again.

Richard,

Sorry I don't have a solution, as I'm actually experiencing symptoms very similar to yours on some new 2960S switches.  Just curious if you found a root cause or resolution for your issue?


Thanks!

Hi Richard,

Output drops on the port-asic always indicate you have oversubscribed the port-asic buffer space. 2960 uses 4 output queues to provide some QoS functionality in hardware at wire-speed. If you have 'mls qos' configured without any further port level config, you will find the available buffer space will be split between these 4 queues. Each queue will receive certain DSCP/CoS values and the queues will transmit in a shared round robin fashion.

Essentially::

- is 'mls qos' enabled?

- if yes, is it needed?

- if yes, can we make changes?

If you dont have 'mls qos' enabled, then you need higher linespeed as you are experiencing micro-burst that doesnt get picked up over a 30 second period. Its frustrating to find this scenario, however as mentioned, port-asic drops are simply oversubscription of buffer space over _some_ period of time. Often output drops such as yours will result from very short bursts of traffic.

2960 uses the same QoS architecture as 3560 and 3750, hence the following excellent guide is very relevant and applicable:

Ian,

I am also having port asic drops, as you can see here.

I am also seeing something weird here on switch one of my stack.

stp               90         0          2542282    0          0      

That seems like a really high number on the invalid counter...

More relevant than drops occurring, is: Are there any applications or protocols experiencing issues?

Controller drops can be normal behaviour of a switch depending on the topology. The drops here are going to CPU-Queues and may be normal if you dont want to receive those types of packets at CPU from that port.

Looking at the output, you are dropping STP frames destined to CPU. Are there any BPDU's received on this port-asic? Should there be? Are you experiencing STP instability?

Again, I would like to focus on the impact to the network rather than explaining the counter as these types of counters can often be normal operation.

We have a set of Avaya phones hanging off of various ports in the switch stack, across all 4 switches. And about every 2-3 weeks

the users at the call center start having intermittent phone problems, static, jitter, dropped calls, etc for calls coming in over the WAN and through

this stack. As soon as we reload the stack all problems clear up for another 2.5-3.5 weeks then start again. The counters were just one of the things that were found. I think it is an effect rather and not a cause.
