Useful Port Troubleshooting Commands
for Performance and Connectivity
Useful to Verify Traffic Flow Through an Interface
• In-discards: Traffic on a trunk VLAN but no switchports in the VLAN or if trunk is blocking
• In-lost: Packets dropped in the Receive Path; Rx-No-Packet Buffer Avail, Rx Crc Error, Rx Fragments, etc
• Out-lost: Output buffer is full...oversubscription of the output port
• Lrn-discard: Not able to learn a MAC address due to CAM table full or hash index collision

Useful Port Troubleshooting Commands
for Performance
Error Rate Should Be Less Than 3% of Traffic
• FCS_err: Due to bad CRC…faulty NIC or cable
• Xmit-err: Internal transmit buffer is full; oversubscription
• Rcv-err: Rx buffer is full
• Late collisions: Duplex mismatch
