Hello ,
I have been observing high amount of Late Collisions on Ethernet 0 interface for a Cisco 1721 Router (LOL EOL for sure )
The internet line terminates on the interface
#sh int e0
6640 output errors, 5677 collisions, 0 interface resets
0 babbles, 6454 late collision, 10467 deferred
#sh controllers | i single
4304 single collisions, 1373 multiple collisions
For LAN Access ,the router has GRE IPSec Tunnels which forms EIGRP Neighborship with Remote end Router
Due to this issue , lately the GRE IPsec Tunnels flaps causing EIGRP Neighborship to get disrupted often resulting in connectivity loss
As late collssions can mostly be caused by Duplex mismatch , I checked the duplex settings and that seems to be fine
(https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/9246)
1. The LAN has around 200 nodes connected via Fa0 intreface , Can the Speed mismatch ( 10Mbps and 100 Mbps ) cause bottle necks and be the reason for Late collissions ?
2. Are Late collissions bad ?
3. What are the options ahead of me to try and resolve this issue ?
Please Help !

Anup

No. Speed mismatch gives you CRC or FCS. Collisions, as a whole, means you're interface is set up for HALF duplex.
Post the complete output to the command "sh interface
Ethernet0? I believe this interface can only negotiate HALF duplex.

Hi Leo ,
It 's Half Duplex itself !
Sorry I checked the Fa0 port and found it to be Full Duplex
For E0
