Cisco 2960S increasing total output drops

M.S.88
Level 1
Level 1

‎05-12-2021 04:43 AM

Hi all,

i just saw problem with increasing total output drops on interfaces at cat 2960s (WS-C2960S-48LPD-L ver. 12.2(55)SE8)

problem is on every connected interfaces, some with ip phones others with PCs and uplink interface, everywhere total output drops are growing..

 

have You ever met this problem?

i think this is cause of some dropped calls, am I right?

Can you give me tips to solve this problem, is it something with buffers?

 

some output from 2960

No, i didn't configure any qos, we can say that it's working on default setting.

Change the port speed to 100 Mbps and see if the Total Output Drops are still incrementing.

i already changed on another port - no result

How would you know?  You haven't cleared the interface counters after changing the port speed.

Can you explain what that downstream client is? 

Total Output Drops means the switch is feeding data downstream but the downstream client is sending "pause" frames back to the switch.  When the switch receives the pause frames the data, meant for the downstream client, is held in a bucket.  Once that bucket gets full, subsequent incoming data is discarded, hence Total Output Drop.  

This means the downstream client does not have the capacity to process the incoming data.
