Interface Errors on a Cisco ASA 5520

by David Blahut :: Rate this Message:

| View Threaded | Show Only this Message

All-

I just put into production a pair of Cisco ASA 5520s with a Cisco 2970
switch between the two.  I am seeing no buffer, input errors, and
overrun errors on the active outside and inside interfaces (output is
error free).  I have all interfaces on the ASAs and the switch hard
coded to 1000Mbps and full duplex, TAC wasn't much help and Google
doesn't have much to offer on the subject.  Given that speed and duplex
mismatch usually manifest itself as CRC and or collisions this seems
more like an input buffer size issue, but I am not sure.

By the way, the load is about 40Mbps right now and the error counters
seem to increase in burst (no increase since I first checked it at about
9 this morning).

Any ideas?

Thanks,
David

David--

   Can you post a snipped of the interface statistics?

   Also, look at the interface statistics for the upstream and downstream switch or router.

All the interface counters on the 2970 are holding steady at zero.

What are you seeing for entries in the logs on the ASA's syslog server(s)?

Under a high input pkt rate, if the ASA rules are deny'ing many pits AND it is syslogging each deny - particularly if it has multiple syslog servers - could put  an ASA under stress.

   This looks like a hardware problem, the ASA is not able to buffer the received traffic fast enough. What device is the upstream device sending the data? I am thinking that you should be contacting Cisco at this point.
