Troubleshooting Routers
5-20
This shows the number of times the router dropped frames it received
because of a lack of buffers or a lack of space on the transmission queue.
The possibility that some 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.
Check the wfKernelEntry for the slot where the problem is occurring to
determine whether free buffers are available. To do this, enter
get
wfKernelEntry.*.
<slot>
. For example: get wfKernelEntry.*.2. The router
reports the number of available buffers in slot 2. If free buffers are
available, something on the network is preventing the router from
updating its buffer lists.
Check for protocol storms (for example, from IP RIP, IPX RIP and IPX
SAP, and learning bridge reconverging). If no buffers are available, check
the configuration of the line and the line utilization.
Increase the configured receive queue length
(wfSyncCfgRxQueueLength) to 64, and see if that helps alleviate the
problem.
• wfSyncUnderFlowTx (
get wfSyncEntry.44.*)
This shows the number of incomplete frames that the router transmitted
because the device queue emptied.
This problem usually occurs when you out-clock the router’s port. Certain
link modules (such as the DSDE 5430) support only a 600-KB aggregate
throughput; if the port is receiving a T1 clock signal, the link will be
operational but underflow errors can occur.
