RE: Broken 3640?

Have you tried switching to 802.1q.  It seems that if the problem is related
to ISL then switching trunking protocols "might" help alleviate the problem.

FWIW - Cisco is not supporting ISL on 2948 and 4000 switches, they're going
to 802.1q only.  Are they going to 802.1q everywhere?  Your guess is as good
as mine.

Subject: RE: Broken 3640?



We have an almost identical problem. I have a 3640 connected to a catalyst
2924XL. I have the switch and router both locked at 100/fdx. The crc error
counters increment on the switch. According to cisco, this is related to
bug id CSCdm49462. In short, when using ISL, the keeplives are not encap'd
so the switch sees this as a crc error. The workaround is to disable
keepalives
on the router for that interface. Well we have tried this and this does not
make a difference at all. We are still having lockups and continous crc
errors.
Bug id CSCdm49462 is a duplicate of CSCdm31600, which has been closed as
there
is a workaround (disable keepalives). If anyone can offer anything else on
this
I would very much appreciate it. (We have done the obvious and replaced
cables
and interfaces.)
