Switchports dropping packets

Hi there,

Thanks for reading.

I have an access switch which is dropping TONS of packets.  My GUESS is I've mismanaged vlan participation and ports are receiving packets for a vlan they don't have configured.  Here's a sample of the symptom:

Vlan111 is up, line protocol is up
  Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 0
     0 unknown protocol drops
FastEthernet0/1 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
  Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 0
     0 unknown protocol drops
FastEthernet0/2 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
  Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 761569
     0 unknown protocol drops
FastEthernet0/3 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
  Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 753136
     0 unknown protocol drops
  Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 457
     0 unknown protocol drops
FastEthernet0/5 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
  Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 653544
     0 unknown protocol drops
FastEthernet0/6 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
  Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 592658
     0 unknown protocol drops
FastEthernet0/7 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
  Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 592657
     0 unknown protocol drops
FastEthernet0/8 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
  Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 598850
     0 unknown protocol drops
  Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 36444
     0 unknown protocol drops
  Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 705620
     0 unknown protocol drops
FastEthernet0/11 is up, line protocol is up (connected)
  Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 681879
     0 unknown protocol drops

I also see you have gig trunks.  If you have gig hosts sending to these FE ports, transient congestion might be the cause of the egress drops.
