Cat 9300 Output Drops

holdentom218

Hi,

 

I have 2 x c9300-48U switches running 16.6.4a, data and power stacked in a corporate office. I have a 100MB carrier link on Gi1/0/48 back to our DC. I'm running OSPF for routing across this interface to our DC. There are no known performance issues at the office. The link is doing almost nothing at the moment (57k bit/s), but I can see output drops on the interface. When I deployed the switches I had an outbound QoS shaping policy on the interface and I thought that this may be been contributing to the drops, but I've since removed the policy and can still see the output drops. The drops happen in bursts, not constantly. I wouldn't expect that this is due to micro bursts, it's a corporate office, not a DC. These are the only Cat 9300s that we have deployed so I have no reference point. Has anyone seen this issue before?

Hi Tom,

Have you talked to the provider to make sure the circuit is good end-to-end? Also, have you tried a different patch cable, maybe a different port and also removing the bandwidth command and test?

Is there more than one LAN client at 100 Mbps, or any LAN clients with gig? If so, either can generate transient congestion on your 100 Mbps egress port. Adjusting drop thresholds might mitigate.

Just to sign this off (a while back now), I realised from some old outputs that the interface had negotiated at 1Gb when I first bought it up, however after a reboot it had negotiated at 100Mb. I had a local contact unplug/plug the cable and it correctly negotiated at 1Gb. The interface errors went away.
