    Hi guys,
    I’m experiencing a problem that is driving me crazy.
    I have a Cisco AS5350 and a 3700 router series used as GK.
    On both machines if I run a ‘show interface fastethernet 0/1’ I can see a lot of CRC error and only on the AS5350 also frame error.
    I already changed the hub and the cables but the problem persist.

    Hope someone could give me some hints.

    Thanks a lot…

    Hello,

    Please post the FULL output from “show interface fast0/1”.

    Most ethernet problems arise from bad cabling or duplex mismatch.

    You can use following links for troubleshooting:

    Hi Alex, thank you very much for your reply. Unfortunatly I can open your links. In any case I changed the duplex to half and now the CRC error are decreased by 95% but instead collision have started to rise 🙁

    this is the show int:

    Manny,

    Collisions are normal events in shared Ethernet environment. You will virtually always see them in Half-Duplex ethernet operation.

    It seems that your hub does not support full-duplex (and if it did, it would be switch then). If error counters do not increase anymore, just collisions, then you are fine.

    If your collision rate rises above 10-20%, think about replacing the hub with a full-duplex switch.

    Thank you very much for the reply.
    I will plan to buy a switch.
