PA3020 - receive errors and output errors.

L4 Transporter

Hey!

 

I don't know if that's a real problem:

 

I have a PA-3020 and its internal interfaces are connected to a Cisco 3850 Switch (copper, 1000 Base T)

 

When I do a "show interface ethernet1/5" on the firewall, the receive errors are permanently increasing.

 

On the cisco switchport, there are a lot of output errors.

 

The cables are new.

 

Is anyone in the same situation?

 

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

 

Post the output of the show interface command, please:

 

> show interface ethernet1/5

 

The possible events and packets could be the following incorrect length of VLAN tag, unexpected VLAN tag, unsupported L2 protocol, incorrect IP checksum, TCP/UDP packet checksum error, TCP/UDP port 0, Invalid TCP flag, etc.

Hi,

 

The above-mentioned article explains receive errors counters. So what is happening on the Cisco side? What can you see in the logs or in the interface counters?

I get that on the switch port:

But I get that on many interfaces. Very likely that it's a bug of the 3850.

 

And I figured out that the receive error on the firewall interfaces increments every 10 seconds.

 

That is when the switch sends out a keepalive.

 

So maybe everything is fine?!

I will try it!

 

I have a last question: I have a Aggregate Link on the Palo Alto with two interfaces.

 

The option "LACP" is disabled.

 

I get a lot of outpot errors on these interfaces.

 

Should I enable LACP on the ae and on the switch?

Sorry not an LACP guru but I believe it should be enabled from the both sides and at least one side should be active:

Thanks for the link!

 

Maybe someone else can share his experiences to do a normal etherchannel or a LACP etherchannel?
