Greetings,
If a 6248 shows "Receive Packets Discarded" on an interface(using the "show interface counters" command), what commands/methods are available for finding out why those packets were discarded on that particular interface?
When I issue the(show interface counters), I am always showing quite a few discarded packets but all other errors listed in the same command are 0"
If I issue the "show ip stats", none of these values seem to be close to that interface. Since this command is global, could it be the errors fall within one of these categories? If not, what other commands can i use to track these errors down?
Here is an example.
