You can see their load with "sh sfm-ut all" and then walk them off one at a time ("power-off snm [#]") to see if the packet loss goes away. You can also see if they're having issues with "sh sfm-link all err" but I believe that would have shown up in logs. </div><div><br></div><div>We've found a couple bad ones this way and they can be an absolute nightmare to discover since they'll report everything fine. </div><div><br></div><div>The other option could be a bad TM on a card but those usually throw errors as well. </div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Mike</div><div> </div><br><div><div>On Sep 17, 2013, at 1:17 PM, Frank Bulk <<a href="mailto:frnkblk@iname.com">frnkblk@iname.com</a>> wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite">We inserted an MLXe-4 into a Brocade ring this morning and it didn't go so<br>well.
