Hi all,
I've got a strange one that I'm pulling my hair out trying to work out. We've got a Cisco 7301 connected to a 3750 that's showing a lot of buffer underruns when transmitting to the 3750.
The 7301's config is as follows:
interface GigabitEthernet0/2
description Gi0/2 Trunk
mtu 1600
no ip address
load-interval 30
media-type rj45
speed auto
duplex auto
negotiation auto
hold-queue 1024 in
hold-queue 1024 out
end
The 3750's config is as follows:
interface GigabitEthernet1/0/4
description Gi1/0/4 CORE-Gi0/2
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport mode trunk
hold-queue 1024 in
hold-queue 1024 out
end
Here's the output from Gi0/2 on the 7301:

And on the 3750:
GigabitEthernet1/0/4 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
Hardware is Gigabit Ethernet, address is xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Description: Gi1/0/4 CORE-Gi0/2

Full-duplex, 1000Mb/s, media type is 10/100/1000BaseTX
input flow-control is off, output flow-control is unsupported

0 output errors, 0 collisions, 0 interface resets
0 babbles, 0 late collision, 0 deferred
0 lost carrier, 0 no carrier, 0 PAUSE output
0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out
When I clear counters, I see the error rate at around 3-400 underruns per second.. Here's a graph showing traffic and errors associated with that port. There's not an overly large amount of traffic present so I don't think it's a buffer issue.
The 7301 is running c7301-adventerprisek9-mz.122-33.SRC5.bin and the 3750 is running c3750-ipbase-mz.122-25.SEE3.bin

Have you tried changing the cable out between the 2 switches reliability is down on both sides can indicate layer 1 issues 245/255
one side is configured as a trunk but the other side looks to be set as access layer , i would set the configuration as 1 or the other
Your mtu is different on both sides as well , are you using SAN/VMware locally ?
