Discards and Errors | MDS 9513
hey all ,
I'm seeing a lot of discards and errors on our mds9513 . We are running at NX - 5.2.2 (yeah we are due for an upgrade ) .
how do I figure out which port is it with these high discards , what commads do I use .
I do a #show interface |inc errors (this one is to just quickly check the number of errors and discards )
CISCO -9513-MDS1# show interface |inc errors
0 discards, 0 errors
0 discards, 0 errors
0 discards, 0 errors
1396 discards, 1265 errors
0 discards, 0 errors
0 discards, 0 errors
0 discards, 0 errors
0 discards, 0 errors
0 discards, 0 errors
0 discards, 0 errors
help me figure out the port number here please , I cant seem to figure it out . Also what troubleshooting is to be done before I clear the counters on the port ?
Regards
AE

"sh int counters"
i would start with replacing SFP, then move on to cables, patch panel, HBA.
