Glance Network Errors

[Paul F Rose]

We are seeing network errors when using glance, but lanadmin shows the following:

lanadmin -g mibstats 900

The only errors I see are for "Inbound Unknown Protocols".

Is this what glance is reporting?

Shalom,

Interesting command, I've not seen lanadmin used like that.

I don't believe anything of consequence is being reported by lanadmin. Its seems unable to classify some of the packets. You'd really have to use a packet sniffer like wireshare or ethereal or tcpdump to get a better handle on things.

Inbound and outbound errors are zero. Seems like a pretty clean network environment to me.
