WHAT IS A STACK PACKET ERROR?

Kyndall Taylor

I have (24) new purchased standalone 3560G switches linked by a single fiber trunk in a daisy chain. I have done basic config on the GIB ports to make them trunk ports. (switchport mode trunk). and switchport mode access on the other ports. I can ping devices from one end to the other. No special routing or vlan routing.

However, when I web into any of these switches I see a STACK PACKET ERROR: 99% (or up to 101%) all the time. Enclosed image...

What does this mean? I haven't really found out anything on google. Are they all bad? or does something need turning off? 

Thanks

Hello,

I don not understad you very well, Do you have 24 switches in only one stack? You can not do this, the maximum recommend by cisco is 9 switches.

Regards,

---Do not forget rate useful answers---

No stack at all. These are standalone switches in different locations throughout a building connected by a fiber cable. The Gi1/1/1 and Gi1/1/2 ports are daisy chained to other switches. I have not configured any stacking

I have isolated several by disconnecting the fiber to make them just a standalone switch. They still have a stack packet error rate above 90% under the WEB GUI dashboard on the STACK PACKET ERROR graph shown on the attachment. I am really confused. These are practically new out of the box. I have had no luck finding out what that actually is or what causes it.

Thanks for any help
