Hi All,
We are using Cisco 3750 switch where we have configured one port as SPAN port . The port is generating lot of output drops even we have QOS disabled glogablly, other ports are fine. We can see the traffic on the tool connected in the SPAN port. Since we did not configure QOS, i did not think of increasing buffer, what could be other cause of the output drops, could you share some idea how to fix it?

Hello,
post the output of 'show interfaces x' where X is the interface that experiences the drops...

Hello,
turn flowcontrol on on the interface (flowcontrol receive on) and check if that makes a difference...

I just tried it but still an output drops increasing,

We have configured this interface as SPAN port, so this SPAN port connected to Gigamon TAP device which will send mirrored traffic to Netscout for packet analysis. When i look at Netscout we see the vlans sent from SPAN session created in 3750 switch and see the packet aswell.
Moreover there is no much configuration on Gigamon which will receive network traffic from SPAN port and send it to Netcout connect tool port. So i am not able to identify what could be an issue
