[j-nsp] input errors on QFX5110

Hi,

Max FCIP data frame size is 2152 bytes. A native fibre channel frame max size is 2148. 
If your FCIP switch is not fragmenting packets (it is possible), then this would explain why you're seeing oversize packet errors with only 1500 byte MTU configured.

Kind regards,

Subject: [j-nsp] input errors on QFX5110

Dear experts,
a customer of mine has a Fiber Channel over IP switch connected to a port
QFX5110 port and sees a lot of "Input errors" and "oversize frames"

Input errors:     Errors: 118467
Oversized frames                    118467

below extensive output


Are those counters related to frames dropped or just a counter ?

The same machine connected to a previous QFX5100 (different Junos) does not
highlight the same counter.

Since the FCoIP switch manager sees packet loss and retransmissions and
states no jumbo frame should be needed, which is your idea of the issue ?

I see as well this:

 Autonegotiation information:
    Negotiation status: Incomplete

Thanks in advance
James
