A Linux box configured as a bridge. One interface connects to the router via a crossover cable, the other connects to a switch via the cable that used to go to the router. Now I get the following: [root@localhost net]# ifconfig eth3 eth3 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:03:2D:07:61:5D UP BROADCAST MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1969134 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:176459 TX packets:2186662 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:492595115 (469.7 Mb) TX bytes:579725462 (552.8 Mb) Interrupt:17 eth3 is the interface that connects to the switch. As you can see, 1 in 10 rx packets are framing errors. What are possible causes for this? The cable is a constant, so is not likely to cause problems, so what else can possibly cause such a high number of frame errors? Any help appreciated.
