overruns errors on router's port

AlexBilik
Level 1
Level 1

Dear colleagues!

Switch WS-C3650-24TD is connected to router CISCO3925.

We've noticed that if traffic between them is increasing we see overruns errors on a router's port.

How can we solve an issue?
Patch cord was changed several times.

Thank you in advance.

8586110 input errors

That is a cable issue.  Replace the cable between the two.

1. I wrote that "Patch cord was changed several times."

2. They are not just "input errors". They are just "overruns errors".

Hello,

 

the tx/rx load on both interfaces seems rather low. It looks like both ports are copper ports, so you should be able to hardcode both sides to speed 100 duplex full, can you give that a try ?

 

Also, post the output of 'show buffers' from the 3925...

"you should be able to hardcode both sides to speed 100 duplex full, can you give that a try ?"
Yes, we will try to do that.

Hello,

 

based on your output, try and globally configure the buffers as below:

 

buffers small permanent 100
buffers small min-free 40
buffers small max-free 300

 

buffers middle permanent 50
buffers middle min-free 20
buffers middle max-free 300

 

buffers huge permanent 15
buffers huge min-free 10
buffers huge max-free 20

We've set on router:

 

buffers small permanent 100 
buffers small min-free 40 
buffers small max-free 300

buffers middle permanent 50 
buffers middle min-free 20
buffers middle max-free 300

buffers huge permanent 15
buffers huge min-free 10
buffers huge max-free 20

 

but i didn't help - overruns errors is going on to increase.

 

Then we've set "hold-queue 1024" on router's interface but no result...

 

Any idea more?

Hi,

Something for note down as:

922 throttles: The number of times the receiver on the port is disabled, possibly because of buffer or processor overload. 

Common Causes: Packets which can increase the processor overload include IP packets with options, expired TTL, non-ARPA encapsulation, fragmentation, tunelling, ICMP packets, packets with MTU checksum failure, RPF failure, IP checksum and length errors.


8586108 overrun:The number of times the receiver hardware was unable to hand received data to a hardware buffer. Common Cause: The input rate of traffic exceeded the ability of the receiver to handle the data.

 

It is advised to check with the manual setting of Duplex, speed and with other switch port on the switch. 

 

Regards,
Deepak Kumar,
Don't forget to vote and accept the solution if this comment will help you!

We've implemented "speed 1000"/"duplex full" on ports of switch and router but overruns errors ig going on to increase.
Any idea more?

Hello,

 

the idea was to set the speed to 100 (not 1000) on both sides (and duplex full)...did you try that ?

Georg, THANK YOU for your idea with "buffers", we'll try to do it today in the evening.
"speed to 100" - if it EVEN fixes a problem we couldn't use it permanently.

We've set on router:

 

buffers small permanent 100 
buffers small min-free 40 
buffers small max-free 300

buffers middle permanent 50 
buffers middle min-free 20
buffers middle max-free 300

buffers huge permanent 15
buffers huge min-free 10
buffers huge max-free 20

 

but i didn't help - overruns errors is going on to increase.

 

Then we've set "hold-queue 1024" on router's interface but no result...

 

Any idea more?

Hello,

 

with those increased buffers, do you still see 'misses' in the 'show buffers' output for the small, middle, and huge buffers ?
