TxPause count on switch port high????
We have a problem with a server that is running slow. I believe this issue is withen the server itself. The question was asked if it could be network. Here is what I have on the ports off of the core switch
6/41 WCOTDGSQL1 - NIC1 connected 3 full 1000 10/100/1000
6/42 WCOTDGSQL1 - NIC2 connected 3 full 1000 10/100/1000
6/41 - - - 0 drop-packets
6/42 - - - 0 drop-packets
Port Send FlowControl Receive FlowControl RxPause TxPause
6/41 desired on off off 0 5800254
6/42 desired off off off 0 4884560
I don't understand the TxPause here. Please explain...
I ran a ping plotter to this server and it runs at 0 ms so I am cofident that its good. But I dont understand the TxPause...

So, if I get the flow control saying slow down on the packets going into this server... is it the port or the NIC of the server that wants this to slow down? Is it that the server cannot handle all the packets do to some issue or the NIC of the switch flaking out? The people are complaining about the slowness of the server. The server team is trying to point to the network but I'm seeing a 0 ms to get to the server using ping plotter. The port is set to 1000 and it is connected. So, I'm really just trying to get my ducks in a row if they come back to me and make sure there is no way this is a port problem.
Thanks!
Thanks!
If the problem interface is 6/41, give me a "show int gi6/41" and post it here.

Hey Mike,
Thanks for your help... they found the problem to be on the server!
Thanks for working with me on this...

Not a problem. Just an FYI, if you're having problems like this the first thing to check is the speed/duplex settings on the switch and the NIC and make sure they match. You'll be able to tell there is a problem if you do a "show int gi6/41" on the switch and look at the error and collision count. This is normally the biggest culprit why a server is slow.
