Input errors and CRC errors on interfaces

[arashbrar2]

I am seeing input and CRC errors on WAN interface at one of branch router. Topology overview is :   WAN----> Adtran 3430 (eth 0/1) -------> Juniper 2200 (LAN via eth 0/2).

We are using site to site VPN at this router.

Interface configuration:

show run int eth 0/1

Building configuration...

!

!

interface eth 0/1

  description Spectrum IP is ************

  speed 100

  ip address  ***************  255.255.255.252

  ip access-policy Public

  ip crypto map VPN

  no shutdown

  no lldp send-and-receive

!

end

Here is details output for interface:

sh int eth 0/1        

eth 0/1 is UP, line protocol is UP

Please suggest me some troubleshooting tips.

You probably have a duplex mismatch. When you specify "speed 100" that turns off auto-negotiation. The other side will then fall back to half-duplex. I would suggest that you remove the "speed 100" statement in the interface configuration. This will probably cause the interface to bounce. Then clear counters and see if the errors continue to increment.

If this doesn't fix it or the interface doesn't recover, you may need to use a crossover cable if the other side doesn't do auto-MDI-X.

If it still doesn't want to behave, you may need to go to the connected device on eth 0/1 and configure both sides to 100Mbits and full duplex. I bet simply removing the "speed 100" statement will fix it.

config t

interface eth 0/1

no speed 100

[ctrl-z]

clear counter eth 0/1

show int eth 0/1

[wait a couple of minutes]

show int eth 01

Look for incrementing errors.
