Issue

On AFF A800, AFF C800, ASA A800 or ASA C800 all-flash storage systems running with BMC firmware version 10.8,
ONTAP might log "netif.tcp.conn.bad.checksum:error" events for the e0S internal port.
The following are examples of the event message:
netif.tcp.conn.bad.checksum: TCP packet with bad checksum detected on port e0S.
The packet arrived on connection with source address 192.0.2.81 and destination_address 192.0.2.84
or
netif.tcp.conn.bad.checksum: TCP packet with bad checksum detected on port e0S.
The packet arrived on connection with source address 192.0.2.82 and destination_address 192.0.2.85
The following is an example of nodeshell "ifstat -a" output showing the "Bad TCP cksum" counter:
