The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Trunk dropping packets

Asked by tshi5791 in Network Switches & Hubs

Tags: Cisco, Catalyst 4503, C4503, 12.2(18)EW2

I have a trunk that is showing output drops more in one side than the other. What could be the cause?
Here is what I did but without much success:
1. Change the cable...now only one side was dropping packets.
2. Moved the trunk to a different port on both switches, still one side was dropping packets.
3. Disconnected the cable to only use one trunk because they were two trunks. Now the original side that was dropping more packets is dropping.
So the problem is not limited to one switch. Help!!!
4. I rebooted one switch but the problem still there.

One thing that will say is that the packets are being dropped on the forwarding port in the STP. I tried to only allowed some specific VLAN but without much success.
