[c-nsp] ME3600 FCS packet generation issue

Fri Oct 24 06:04:08 EDT 2014

Hello,

Waris, in this moment I cannot capture packets because the device is running ok. So, now the packets are correctly forwarded. We changed the SFPs and checked the SDH network and all is ok. The ME3600 has customer devices connected that we also manage and in these customer devices we see the "input errors" in the "show interface" command.

Ramji, during the issue, I see the input error counter and CRC. This is the output of one of the customer devices connected to the ME3600. I see the same in my routers and the customer devices that I manage:

Hi Jordi,

When you say that the packet is getting dropped by the peer router, are you seeing CRC errors on it?

Thanks,
Ramji

Jordi,

Can you please capture the packet? Are there any layer 1 issue in the network? 

Ramji,

Have you come across any such issue on ME3600X?

Subject: [c-nsp] ME3600 FCS packet generation issue

Hello,

My name is Jordi. I have a strange issue with one of my

ME3600. I have a ME3600 connected to a C7609 via the G0/24 port and

connected to another ME3600 connected via G0/22 port. In the middle of

the connection between the two ME3600 there is a SDH network (Ethernet

over SDH). I have a recurring issue in the ME3600, for some reason when

the device receive a packet and forwards the packet, the device sends

the packet with FCS errors, so the other end detects the "input error"

and drops the packet. I don't know if the device sends the data

corrupted or makes wrong the calculation of the FCS. The device can work

correctly during two months and some day the device starts with this

problem. Reloading the device fixes the issue during a time. I saw the

issue for the first time at June. I changed the device, but the issue

appeared again and I upgraded the IOS from 15.3(3)S to 15.4(2)S1 but

still the same. I think that this issue could be a bug but I don't know

which event triggers the issue. Someone could help me?

Thank you very much and sorry for my English.
