Discards on Cisco Switches

I am receiving discards and CRC errors on some interfaces in a port group

First off, the Gi1/ interfaces

These are fibre connections between the two core switches. If this was copper I would check the speed/duplex etc to be 1000/full and force the speed on all ports. I am not sure what I am supposed to do with fibre connections?

Secondly the Gi2/ interfaces - also Fibre, these are going to the user switches

So, in summary I am experiencing discards on my fibre uplink ports between the user switches and the interconnect between the two core switches

help please :)

Sorry, I take back my comment. I missed your paragraph in the middle about the fiber links.
