One of our internal C1900s is generating a bunch of FCS errors on its
100Mbit B port:

---This port is generating about 100-140 FCS errors per update interval (~1 sec) connected directly to a Sun Ultra @ 100MBit/s FD. The server is averaging about 10-20Mbit/s of traffic. Store and Forward was off, but then turned on after the Cisco site recommended using S&F to prevent FCS frames from being filtered.
What is wrong (if anything)? there seems to be a consensus that high speed connects can draw FCS errors.
