You need to think of the 6148 as a set of 6 gigabit ethernet hubs, all
connected together by means of a single gigabit ethernet switch.  If any of
the port groups microbursts to 1G (on the effective hub sections), you can
potentially see fabric drops on any of the other ports in that port group.

The 6148 is not designed for data centre use.  You really need to consider
using a 6748 for this.
