Hello, net@ readers.
I'm relatively new to freebsd networking so i'm asking here, because i
did not found information in man netstat. I have a machine that suffers
from collisions.
Network interface status:
Name Mtu Network Address Ipkts Ierrs Opkts Oerrs Coll
ed0 1500 <Link#1> 00:80:48:c6:a1:82 35885806 4 23583716 0 134590
...
rl0 1500 <Link#2> 00:00:1c:dc:b8:d6 23455543 0 36137069 0 0
This is ordinary RELENG_6_1, with ed0 and rl0 acting as gateway. UTP
cat5 is connected to both NICs.
So i have three questions:
1. What can cause such big collisions number? Bad UTP cable? Bad NIC?
Misbeheaving switch?
2. Ierr -- seems that some input errors. What are these errors and what
can cause them?
3. Should i ever bother about this issue?
