Interface output drop but can't notice any congestion

admnet_senaisc
Level 1
Level 1

Hi people!

 

We've a problem with one of our distribution switches which is that on some interfaces we're seeing output drops from time to time without any reasonable cause that i was able to identify.

 

I'm not an expert on Cisco switching so any help would be appreciated.

 

I'm wondering if it may be associated with an error on the onther endpoint or maybe because a flow control enabled on the other side, even if it's disabled on the switch's interface.

 

The QoS (mls qos) is disabled on the switch.

 

I'll start with some information that IMO can summarize the subject:

 

#show interfaces gigabitEthernet 1/0/2

Some time after you can see that the drops increased but i can't see any reasonable cause for that as the bandwidht rate is near of 50% of use.

One thing that i find curious is that ASIC 0 has a lot of Sup Queue Drops (i couldn't find any reference on Cisco documentation about it and i'm not sure of what  it does means)

1) What Model switch and what IOS version?

2) Do the drops seem to be service impacting?

Hello Larry!

 

We can't notice a huge impact, for sure. But i can't be sure how much it affects our network. It's a critical point because it uplinks to a router that provides Internet to our company. It's connected through a port-channel and both interfaces in the port-channel are having those output drops.

 

I really want to understand what is happening. I suspect that ASIC0 may be oversubscribed.

If you're not sure if it is impacting service, it likely isn't.  We have had high discard reporting with our stacked 3850s.  Not sure if the 2960Xs are the same issue though.  Fix for us was to update the IOS.  You seem to have a relatively up to date IOS though.  If the discards really bother you, I would at least try an upgraded IOS if convenient.  

Hello Larry,

Thanks for your time!

In the meantime i'll take a look at it.

I'm still trying to understand the root cause of those drops.

I lack the knowledge to assertively associate the interface's output drop with the ASICS's drops, but i still think that there's something awkward there.
