RX packets experienced errors-cisco-asa
Vendor: cisco
OS: asa
Description:
Indeni tracks the number of packets that had issues and alerts if the ratio is too high.
Remediation Steps:
Packet errors usually occur when there is a mismatch in the speed and duplex settings on two sides of a cable, or a damaged cable.
|
|1. Run the “show interface” command to review the interface error counters and the bitrate. Consider to configure the “load-interval 30” interface sub command to improve the accuracy of the interface measurements.
|2. Check for a mismatch in the speed and duplex interface settings on two sides of a cable, or for a damaged cable.
|3. Use the “show interface counters errors” NX-OS command to display detailed interface error counters. If you do not specify an interface, this command displays information about all Layer 2 interfaces.
How does this work?
This script retrieves the interface statistics by polling ifTable via SNMP.
Why is this important?
Capture the interface Receive Errors counter. Receive errors coould indicate an issue with duplex/speed matching.
Without Indeni how would you find this?
It is possible to poll this data through SNMP.

comments:
network-interface-mtu:
why: |
The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is the maximum frame size that can be sent between two hosts without fragmentation.
how: |
This script retrieves the interface MTU Setting by polling ifTable via SNMP.
can-with-snmp: true
can-with-syslog: false
network-interface-speed:
why: |
If the interface speed is set to a low value, this could mean auto-negotiation is not working correctly and the interface does not utilize the full bandwidth available.
how: |
This script retrieves the interface speed by polling ifTable via SNMP.
can-with-snmp: true
can-with-syslog: false
network-interface-mac:
why: |
A media access control address (MAC address) is a unique identifier assigned to a network interface.
how: |
This script retrieves the interface MAC Address by polling ifTable via SNMP.
can-with-snmp: true
can-with-syslog: false
network-interface-admin-state:
why: |
If an interface is disabled and it is a member of a Port Channel, then the link might be running at reduced capacity.
how: |
This script retrieves the interface administrative state by polling ifTable via SNMP.
can-with-snmp: true
can-with-syslog: false
network-interface-state:
why: |
Interfaces that should be UP and are DOWN can reduce the resiliance of the systems and cause service disruption.
how: |
This script retrieves the interface state by polling ifTable via SNMP.
can-with-snmp: true
can-with-syslog: false
network-interface-rx-bits:
why: |
Capture the interface Received bits counter. Knowing the amount of bits and packets flowing through an interface can help estimate an interface's performance and utilization.
how: |
This script retrieves the interface statistics by polling ifTable via SNMP.
can-with-snmp: true
can-with-syslog: false
network-interface-rx-packets:
why: |

how: |
This script retrieves the interface statistics by polling ifTable via SNMP.
can-with-snmp: true
can-with-syslog: false
network-interface-rx-dropped:
why: |
Capture the interface Receive Drop counter. Packet loss may have severe impact to the traffic utilization (retransmission for TCP apps) and to the performance of the applications
