High amount of input errors on SFP 1000BaseXS interface

Hello all,

 
I have a trunk connection between a CAT4500 and a C2960G-48TC-L.

On the C2960 end I get a lot of input errors and the amount is increasing. SFP on the 2960 has been replaced and fiber has been tested and gives no problem.

 
the output of sh int on both devices:

the config of the interfaces is

CAT4500

 
interface GigabitEthernet1/2
switchport access vlan 100
switchport trunk encapsulation dot1q
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-4093
switchport mode trunk
mtu 9000

 
C2960

 
interface GigabitEthernet0/48
switchport access vlan 100
switchport trunk allowed vlan 1-4093
switchport mode trunk
media-type sfp

 
Any ideas? Your input is very much appreciated.

Well the configs on the port don't exactly match. The mtu setting on the 4500 to be more specific. Is this for iscsi?
Jumbo frames? So just add the mtu command to your 2960 interface.

If i am not mistaken, you can not set the MTU size on an individual interface on the C2960 system. Global configuration has mtu set tot 9000 on all Gigbit interfaces.

 switch#sh system mtu

System MTU size is 1500 bytes
System Jumbo MTU size is 9000 bytes
Routing MTU size is 1500 bytes

We have a backup/storage iscsi device on this switch. We have changed the mtu setting to 9000 after discovering these errors on standard mtu settings of 1500. But this had no effect.

There was a faulty pachtpanel involved.
