Generate packet with bad CRC Keul 06-21-07

Hi,

Does someone know if there's a way to send ethernet packet with bad
CRC, with a fiber optic card?
And if it is also possible to count them on a fiber optic card?
it seems that "ethtool -S eth0" can displays statistics including bad
CRC packet count, but i don't know if it is possible with all fiber
optic cards.

Thanks for help

Keul

Many likely can count them, but not generate them. As far as I know,
there are some cards specifically designed for use in testing that
have extra abilities, and probably an extra large price tag.

I don't know any specific model numbers, though.

Smartbits tester will do it, here is an arbitrary card
that says it does bad crc generation.

"CRC error generation capability."

Not at all cheap.

Thanks for the link but I think i will try to use a cheaper way (a
RJ45 ethernet product that can make crc error packets with a fiber
converter.)
(baybe I will arrive to disable the CRC filter of the converter...)

So do you know witch fiber card and network (gigabit) card could count
crc errors?

For my fiber card :
>ethtool -S eth2
no stats available
:(
