[c-nsp] FE experienceing errors and CRCs

Hi ,

    In case of multivendor integration as I have seen , seeting the
speed does make a lot of difference, just to share a bit, try
connecting Avaya Gear with Nortel Boxes with 100 Mbps FD explicity and
you will see drops and crc, change it to auto and its resolved.

     Since yours is Cisco Gear this should not be the case, but
usually the first place to start troubleshooting  will be changing the
cable and setting both to 100 Mbps FD.

    Hope this helps...

Regards
Raja
