Packet loss while ping from directly connected switch

[mahesh18]

Hi,

Server is directly connected to switch over etherchannel  bundle.

Both switch and server  are auto negotiaing over 100 full full.

Switch and server are capable og 1000 and they have fibre connection.

We can not hardcore settings without change control .

When i ping server with 100 packets i see 3 to 4 % packet loss.

When i ping from my pc which is in different subnet then  there is no packet loss.

I also try to ping the other servers in same subnet and they have no packet loss.

Need to know if this points to any layer 1 issue or not?

Regards

Mahesh

You are pinging the server FROM the management interface of the switch? Or is this from an IP address in the same subnet as the server such as the default gateway?

[mahesh18]

Hi Kyle,

Very good question.

I ssh  on to switch management IP which is also my pcs default gateway.

My pc and server are in different subnet.

Can you run the following show commands on the server interface and post back the results?

#show run interface...

#show interface....

As you can see there are no errors on the server ports.

[Rasika Nayanajith]

is there any control plane policing enable on your switch ?

[mahesh18]

There is no class map and policy map configured.

I have seen issues such as this a few times on Management SVI interfaces of network switches and I do not believe it is anything worth worrying about. However if it is something concerning you, it may be advisable to contact TAC.
