Resource: Ethernet1/10
Severity: Major
Indication Time: Mon Apr 24

Suppress: false
Acknowledge: false
Probable Cause: The percentage of inbound packet errors of switch
interface "int/Ethernet1/10"
is above the warning threshold.
Possible Effect: Communication between nodes in the cluster might be
degraded.
 
  • Below errors are reported in EMS:
