error netstat -I

Hi,

does that indicate a bad cable?

Thanks for any help,

Michael

With a bad cable normally you will have a fair number of input and output errors. What is the output of netstat -ni?

This is the output.

This looks to me like a real problem. You don't have collisions, so this should indicate that the speed and duplex negotiation or setting is correct, but you may want to verify that first.

Start by replacing the conection to the switch, then replace cable.

Yet is a small number, I don't know how long the system was running. Normally, I have 0 for input and output errors on all my systems. If the errors does not grow, maybe you don't have to worry too much.

Hi Ivan,

thanks for the comment. I have resetted the counter and will monitor it the next days. Then I will have to see how I can get a hold of the people there because it is another site.
