Bright minds,
I have a brand new server (IBM x3850 M2) that exhibits a problem of
dropping packets. Dropped packet are accumulating throughout the day.
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:1A:64:DB:E4:26
inet addr:132.77.4.105 Bcast:132.77.5.255 Mask:255.255.254.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:689587830 errors:2600 dropped:2916 overruns:0 frame:2600
TX packets:907757124 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:545358022289 (520093.9 Mb) TX bytes:1039725325872
(991559.3 Mb)
Interrupt:98 Memory:f4000000-f4012100
I need your advice on how to approach this problem. What tools/methods
are out there to deal with problem like this?
I don't have direct access to the switches, even though I can ask our
network people to verify/check specific things on their side.
