Troubleshooting a Data Link Connection Problem

Check the wfKernelEntry for the slot where the problem is occurring to
determine whether free buffers are available, or to determine whether
something on the network is preventing the router from updating its buffer
lists. To do this, enter
get wfKernelEntry.*.
<slot>
. For example: get
wfKernelEntry.*.2. The router reports the number of available buffers in
slot 2.
Check for protocol storms (for example, from IP RIP, IPX RIP and SAP,
and learning bridge reconverging). If no buffers are available, check the
configuration of the line and the line utilization.
Increase the wfCSMACDCfgRxQueueLength to 64, and see if that helps
alleviate the problem.
• wfCSMACDTooLongErrorTx
This shows the number of frames received that exceed 1518 octets. The
router drops the frames because of a lack of space on the transmission
queue (Tx). The possibility that some lack-of-resource errors occur is
likely, especially when the router boots. If this number increases to a high
rate (such as 15/minute) for an extended period, it may indicate a
problem.

• wfCSMACDMerr
This shows the number of Ethernet controller chip memory errors. The
controller chip declares an error when it fails to access memory within
1512 clock ticks of asserting its data strobe signal. After declaring a
memory error, the controller chip reinitializes. Go to “Memory or Buffer
Problem” in Chapter 3.
