Sun's hme cards won't go full duplex even though they advertise it to remote switch, causing immense headaches to anyone with Sun gear... http://www.eng.auburn.edu/~rayh/solaris/solaris2-faq.html#q4.13 -alex On Tue, 7 Jan 2003 ed@the7thbeer.com wrote:
Heh. Tell that to my Catalyst 3548's and the E250's at the other end. ;)
Lab testing showed serious throughput issues though (expected) in duplex-mismatched links, and large increases in runt and mutli-collision counters. CRC errors and FCS errors also rose in proportion to relative link saturation in a more simplistic 6500 <->7509<-> 3548 test environment.
Besides, misconfigured duplex will not cause CRC errors.

Rule number 1 with any ethernet: Check to make sure you have the duplex and rate statically configured, and configured identically on both ends of the connection.
I'd wager you've got half duplex set on one side, and full on the other...

Hi, this is kind of a newbie question but this doesn't make a whole lot of sense :P
I have an etherstack hub connected to a FastEthernet port on a cisco 3660 router, these are the stats when I do a show int fast0/0:
5776 input errors, 5776 CRC, 2717 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored
Whats weird is I just cleared the counters 12 minutes ago, and already
there
are almost 6000 CRC errors. This connected via a standard Cat5 ethernet cable, I have tried replacing the cable to noavail.
Is this a fairly normal situation, If so that's great, but it seemed rather ridiculous to me, and if it is not a normal situation, what would cause this?
Any ideas are appreciated. Thanks, -Drew Weaver
