  • 1.  5406zl port with Giants issue

    Posted Feb 18, 2014 06:15 AM

    I have several Cisco 3702i access points connected to an J8705A Gig-T/SFP zl module on HP5406zl.
    Everyone of the 3702i shows up with RX error, more specific; giants error.
    I'm running version; K.15.10.0009

    The config on the switch is default. I allso have an 2510-10 that shows the same error.
    In this switch I run version; Q.11.57

    They are likely just jumbo frames, which would be disabled by default on Procurve.

     

    vlan <number> jumbo (n config mode) enables them for a particular VLAN.

     

    Or you could try to disable them at the other end or just forget about them. The chances that it's a faulty NIC are fairly small.

     

    If you really want to get to the bottom of it, you'll probably need to capture the frames on something that supports jumo frames, see where they are coming from.
