I have a cisco 3400 ME switch which is dropping a lot of packets on one of its uplinks and customers are noticing the packet loss.
the switch has two gig uplinks, one has a tx/rx combined rate of
445Mbps which never drops a packet, the other has a combined tx/rx throughput of 607mbps (give or take) and drops 100's of packets a second. i think the issue may be caused by the 3400 configured for jumbo frames and the 4507 running an MTU of 1500.However lookign at the traffic patterns there is a huge difference in data transmitted than received, so what is the best way to check for loops on the switch? since the 3400 doesnt support STP on the UNI ports, what is th ebest way to check for loops? I have checked the mac table and there is no dupes, is there any other methods for tracking them down?
