  • 1.  2810-48G: Out of pkt buffers

    Posted Dec 21, 2009 05:19 AM

    Hi, all.
    I have HP Procurve 2810-48G. 30 ports are used for servers.Recently, the logs I found the message:

    W 12/19/09 10:47:02 system: Out of pkt buffers; miss count: 275159
    W 12/19/09 08:08:38 system: Out of pkt buffers; miss count: 273776
    W 12/18/09 20:14:30 system: Out of pkt buffers; miss count: 273146
    W 12/18/09 17:59:24 system: Out of pkt buffers; miss count: 271107
    W 12/18/09 16:46:54 system: Out of pkt buffers; miss count: 268552
    W 12/18/09 15:31:20 system: Out of pkt buffers; miss count: 265287
    W 12/18/09 14:17:44 system: Out of pkt buffers; miss count: 259331

    What does this mean? Switches do not have required performance?

     

     

    P.S. This thread has been moved from Switches, Hubs, Modems (Legacy ITRC forum) to ProCurve / ProVision-Based. - Hp Forum Moderator

    Hi,

    might be a problem that there is too much traffic going to the management IP of the switch. Can you post the output of the "sh system" and "sh ip" of the switch?

    Cheers,

    Michael

    Hi,

    you have missed buffers on IP Mgmt:

    IP Mgmt - Pkts Rx : 8580 Packet - Total : 3022
    Pkts Tx : 8712 Buffers Free : 2775
    Lowest : 0
    Missed : 307,060 ---> Missed Buffers for IP Mgmt

    Recommended action is to decrease broadcast traffic of to check which traffic is hitting your mgmt IP address. If you cannot get rid of this traffic you should consider using a dedicated VLAN for Mgmt traffic only and remove the IP address from your user traffic.

    Cheers,

    Michael
