Trying to find out why I am getting output drops on a 3750-E that is connected via 10G link back to a nexus 7010 via stub eigrp.

Show int on the nexus gives me the following, the reason for the int resets and the flaping was me changing optics to see if that was the culprit.

Let me know if you need the config etc of either int or any other info.

Just a side note, on 12.2.(46)SE release notes I notice the changes list fixing the output drops displaying correctly as a fix, but as i am on 12.2.(53)SE2 I dont think this is a bogus issue, unless maybe the issue is still ongoing

If it's that low of a rate consistently and you're not bursting at all, then I'd liken it to another quirk. If there's one thing I've learned, IOS is consistently inconsistent.

I remember that bug. Probably best to just open a TAC case.

I was afraid I would hear that, management decided since the 3750-E had lifetime warranty and they were just closet switches to not get TAC on them, Its not causing any issues that im aware of, i just wanted to be proactive and get it resolved before it became a problem (if it even was one)

Dumb, dumb, super dumb decision. It ALWAYS cost you more money in the long run.

Well, not my decision to make, I had to drop that and the Wireless AP to get the stuff i really needed.

On the up side they did let me keep some spare 3750-E units and spare APS so i can swap out if necessary. Also, all we do is change vlans on the switches, never any config changes beyond that.

Are you within your optical budget?
Since I don't see I/O errors on the interface, I don't think that's the issue, but do "show int transceiver" to confirm that.

Another possibility is your queueing.
3K's generally have queue 1 shaped to 4% by default.
So if you have traffic w/ CoS/DSCP values that are mapped to queue 1, they'd get dropped if volume reaches 4%.
Even though it's a 10G interface, 4% only gets you 400M.

Got it figured out, seems to be a failing asic, try the other slot and it works fine, back to the original and it fails, thank John Chambers for free lifetime replacement on the 3750-E series....should be as much as they cost.
