CRC errors increment on node due to faulty onboard port
Applies to
- FAS/AFF
- ONTAP 9
Issue
- CRC errors are incrementing on an onboard port:
::> system node run -node Node-02 -command ifstat e0e
-- interface e0e (6 days, 12 hours, 36 minutes, 51 seconds) --
RECEIVE
Total frames: 1653k | Frames/second: 3 | Total bytes: 357m
Bytes/second: 635 | Total errors: 625 | Errors/minute: 0
Total discards: 0 | Discards/minute: 0 | Multi/broadcast: 2537k
Non-primary u/c: 0 | CRC errors: 625 | Runt frames: 0
- The following errors are reported in event logs:
[Node-02: vifmgr: vifmgr.cluscheck.crcerrors:alert]: Port e0e on node Node-02 is reporting a high number of observed CRC errors.
- Replacement of SFP and cable on the node and switch end does not stop the errors.
- The errors on the port increment even after changing the switch side port.
