Hi,
I have a Cisco 2621xm and PIX 525 connected together. The Cisco 2621xm is my perimeter router and connects via fast ethernet port to my PIX's outside interface. I am getting CRC and input erros (no collisions) on the Cisco 2621xm but not on my PIX. We have replaced the cable, checked for EMI, but we are still getting these erros. When I do a show interface on my 2621xm this is what it looks like:
FastEthernet0/1 is up, line protocol is up Hardware is AmdFE, address is 000f.24d5.3f61 (bia 000f.24d5.3f61) Description: Public Internet address is 207.67.2.1/24 MTU 1500 bytes, BW 100000 Kbit, DLY 100 usec, reliability 255/255, txload 1/255, rxload 1/255 Encapsulation ARPA, loopback not set Keepalive set (10 sec) Full-duplex, 100Mb/s, 100BaseTX/FX ARP type: ARPA, ARP Timeout 04:00:00 Last input 00:00:00, output 00:00:00, output hang never Last clearing of "show interface" counters 4d13h Input queue: 0/75/0/0 (size/max/drops/flushes); Total output drops: 0 Queueing strategy: fifo Output queue: 0/40 (size/max) 5 minute input rate 235000 bits/sec, 53 packets/sec 5 minute output rate 247000 bits/sec, 51 packets/sec 5237200 packets input, 3023534728 bytes Received 2790 broadcasts, 0 runts, 0 giants, 0 throttles 606 input errors, 606 CRC, 606 frame, 0 overrun, 0 ignored 0 watchdog 0 input packets with dribble condition detected 5530409 packets output, 3434885318 bytes, 0 underruns 0 output errors, 0 collisions, 0 interface resets 0 babbles, 0 late collision, 0 deferred 0 lost carrier, 0 no carrier 0 output buffer failures, 0 output buffers swapped out

This is what I get when I do a show interface on the PIX:

Not sure what is wrong. I have read in some places that this is a warning that a hardware failure is possible in the near future. Has anyone else experienced this problem or does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks
