Description Peter Pruchnerovic 2011-08-04 15:30:42 UTC

Hello,

Description of problem:
I am getting a lot of messages like those every few seconds, sometimes few minutes:
qlge 0000:1a:00.1: ql_process_mac_rx_page: Receive error, flags2 = 0x5d
qlge 0000:1a:00.1: ql_process_mac_rx_page: Receive error, flags2 = 0x5d

qlge 0000:1a:00.1: ql_process_mac_rx_page: Receive error, flags2 = 0x5d

We checked logs on switches, but they are clean, no problems reported.

Is there a way to find out if this is software or hardware problem?

qlge 0000:1a:00.1: ql_process_mac_rx_page: Receive error, flags2 = 0x5d

The above error means, packet was received with CRC error which also has TCP and Promiscuous bit set.

Please check cables, SFP's and switch ports.

Thanks,
    Jitendra

Thanks for your help.

Replacing SFP cable helped, logs are clear now.

Ticket can be closed.
