[c-nsp] Packet Loss on 6513

Wed Apr 8 23:19:08 EDT 2009

What is connected to your SUP-720 Gi7/1 interface? Can you post the
output of 'show int gi7/1'?

Subject: [c-nsp] Packet Loss on 6513

We currently have 2 6513's in our core, and we have seen packet loss on
our network. I was trying to locate the source of the packet loss. We
did see some input queue drops on the SVI's and physical interfaces. I
had increased our queue size on the vlan interfaces to 500, and our
packet drops on the svi's decreased signifigantly. Now I am trying to
figure out why there is packet loss on the physical interfaces. We have
a sup 720, and our line cards are WS-X6724-SFP and WS-X6748-SFP.

Here is a sample of an interface with high drops
GigabitEthernet2/23 is up, line protocol is up (connected)

I also looked at the utilization of this interface with our snmp tool,
and utilixzation of this interface never went over %40

I also noticed the following, and was not sure if this was completely
accurate:

Does this mean that 3940684041 packets were dropped on the egress queue
on the sup? Does this seem extremly high, and shat can cause this?
Thanks for your help
