Hi,


I have no qos , rate limit or bandwith limit on any of the interfaces of my switch but i get messages like the one below several times a day.


May  6 14:13:28+01:00 EC4A2 %%01IFPDT/4/PKT_OUTDISCARD_NL(l)[1]:Interface output discard restored to the log threshold. (Interface=XGigabitEthernet1/0/1, Statistics=63243, LogThreshold=300, LogInterval=300(s),PortQueueNumber=0, PortQueuePassed=11083800, PortQueueDropped=63243, PortQueueNumber=1, PortQueuePassed=16984, PortQueueDropped=0,PortQueueNumber=2, PortQueuePassed=421, PortQueueDropped=0, PortQueueNumber=3, PortQueuePassed=10, PortQueueDropped=0,PortQueueNumber=4, PortQueuePassed=6275, PortQueueDropped=0, PortQueueNumber=5, PortQueuePassed=402, PortQueueDropped=0,PortQueueNumber=6, PortQueuePassed=7809234, PortQueueDropped=0, PortQueueNumber=7, PortQueuePassed=1009726, PortQueueDropped=0)

May  6 14:08:27+01:00 EC4A2 %%01IFPDT/4/PKT_OUTDISCARD_ABNL(l)[2]:Interface output discard exceeded the log threshold. (Interface=XGigabitEthernet1/0/1, Statistics=63243, LogThreshold=300, LogInterval=300(s),PortQueueNumber=0, PortQueuePassed=536341778, PortQueueDropped=63243, PortQueueNumber=1, PortQueuePassed=16984, PortQueueDropped=0,PortQueueNumber=2, PortQueuePassed=421, PortQueueDropped=0, PortQueueNumber=3, PortQueuePassed=10, PortQueueDropped=0,PortQueueNumber=4, PortQueuePassed=6275, PortQueueDropped=0, PortQueueNumber=5, PortQueuePassed=402, PortQueueDropped=0,PortQueueNumber=6, PortQueuePassed=7807077, PortQueueDropped=0, PortQueueNumber=7, PortQueuePassed=1009394, PortQueueDropped=0)


I also recieve the same message on some of the other ports but this one its the one that appears more offten and the discated packets are bound to be a problem.


This is the configuration of the port and the eth-trunk.

Anyone else has any info on how to prevent the packets from being discarted?

Hi there!

Through the information you provide, crc=0 indicates that the physical link is normal and the traffic is normal. The most probable cause is burst traffic. You can use the packet capture software to check whether burst traffic exists (for example, the statistics function of Wireshark).

If you confirm that burst traffic does exist, you can try two ways:

1. Configuring the burst mode of the interface cache management in enhanced mode.

By default, the buffer size on an interface is small. When the traffic rate on an interface reaches 50% to 60% of the interface bandwidth, packets are lost on the interface. The burst traffic buffer mode enables an interface to occupy more available buffer space in the system to process burst traffic, so that the  congestion and packet loss will be reduced.

[HUAWEI-GigabitEthernet1/0/1] qos burst-mode enhanced

2. Configuring Traffic Shaping.

Traffic shaping adjusts the rate of outgoing traffic to reduce traffic bursts so that outgoing packets can be transmitted at a stable rate.

Just to confirm @Popeye_Wang , even if all is working normally, traffic can be dropped if the interface reaches around 50/60% just because of the the buffer size ?

I had the same problem on a S5720 switch.
The port was configured to auto negotiation and linking 100-half while the other side was forced to 100-full, with many packets discarded due to configuration mismatch.
