[c-nsp] ASIC to switch port mapping

[Vincent Aniello]

I was hoping there was an easier way.  J

 

I am trying to solve a output drops on switch ports on which bandwidth
utilization does not seem to exceed the port speed.  Seems like the
drops are due to the buffers filling up and dropping frames.  I am under
the impression that each ASIC has their own buffer and if the buffer
fills on a particular ASIC all ports that share that ASIC will also drop
frames.  If I know the switch interfaces associated with each ASIC I can
redistribute the connections on the switch to better balance the load.

 

Thanks.

Hi Vincent

 

1) Obtain screwdriver

2) Remove case

3) Trace tracks... :)

 

On a serious note, it is actually probably the best way to do it. What
are you trying to achieve/solve/learn?

various Cisco switches, in particular a 3750 and 3560E.  Can anyone
enlighten me on how to go about doing this?



Thanks.
