Interface Errors on M200
Anyone notice that they have a good amount of interface errors on the M200 platform. We started looking into a packet loss issue on one M200 cluster and noticed a lot of interface errors on multiple interfaces. This prompted us to look at all our M200s and we see a consistent trend of interface errors on multiple interfaces on the M200 boxes. If we look a M270s they are literally zero across the board. Curious if this is a known issue that may have been fixed in newer firmware. We are running 12.3.1 to 12.5.2 on the various M200s that we support. Have about 25 of them.

On what interfaces?
Perhaps this?

Bruce! So good to hear from you. Yes that sounds juicy. Going to dig deeper.

In this case the issues are actually on eth0, eth1, eth2 so not quite the same. We are going to open a case and report back.

The only thing I see related to those interfaces is that they do not support 10/100 half duplex.
Let us know what you find out.0 -
The 3 interfaces are auto negotiating with 3 different pieces of equipment (different manufactures) at 1GB Full Duplex. We got the case (01431406) open now. The packet loss to the external IPs is .22% which does not seem like much however we would like to get it as close to zero as possible.

.22% seems high to me.
My eth0 RX errors at the moment is 0.00000197912, on a T20w

Yeah something is not right in this situation. If it was one interface to one piece of hardware I would be more focused on what is on the other end of the wire. Since it is happening on 3 interfaces connected to 3 different pieces of equipment from different manufactures I am focusing more on the WatchGuard side.

Agreed.
