Hi All,

We are facing issue of continous packet discards On nexus4001L link (int po2) to Nexus5020 switch. Nexus4001L is installed in IBM blade center server and we have FCOE enabled in this setup.

Mohinder:

How did you fix that issue?  If yes how?

I have the same issue on the uplinks between the 4001 and the Nexus 5096.

Thanks

Could it be the "jumbo" frames ?

I see your mtu is 1500 and does not cater for jumbo frames.
