I have a workaround in place.  I don't help solving this problem.  I was more curious whether it's typical/possible/expected to have unreported errors on an SFP port.

In this case, one side is a CCR1009, the other is a Signamax industrial switch.  They both certainly have error counters on these interfaces (CRC's etc), but they're all zeroes.

Light levels?  What kind of switch, is it counting anything besides packet count/size/frame size?

Link up/down?

    Each event is 8-10 spurts of packet loss precisely 2 seconds
    apart.  From one of these events to the next it can be anywhere
    from a few minutes to over an hour.

    I've changed the SFP on one end, but the other end is 100m up a
    tower.  I'll certainly get this fixed one way or another, but I'm
    stunned that neither switch reports any problem.

    Are your light levels OK?  Can you just swap the SFP and see if
    that changes it?  How often are the errors?

        point but
        does occur after it, so I know where it's happening but neither
        interface reports any errors.  It's just frustrating because
        I don't
        understand one of these Ethernet devices is dropping packets
        without
        reporting any sort of error at all.

        Is it possible a switch passes a frame to an SFP and the SFP
        has some
        internal error causing a dropped frame, but that the switch
        is now
        oblivious to the error because it happened in the electronics
        of the
        SFP?  These are 8+ years old Maxxwave SFP's.
