Rx Discards in the 5406 zl2

  • 1.  Rx Discards in the 5406 zl2

    Posted 26 days ago

    I am experiencing rx-discard between my HP 5406 zl2 core switch and 2530 48G edge switch.
    There is a 700 MB/s data flow from the core switch to the edge switch. Tx discard is too high at 5406. I'm experiencing freezing in camera images.  There is fiber optic between the core switch and the edge switch. I am using 1 GB sfp. Is there a solution?

    Thanks!

    So there is a chilometer(s) long distance (or anything longer than 300 at best) between your Core and your Edge switches and the link is 1Gbps. You wrote the traffic flow experiencing the issue ("Drops Tx" on B1 port on the Core switch so it means dropped packets leaving the B1 port to go to port 49 on the Access switch) is pushing 700 Mbps (not MBps) into the link so 70% of the port throughput (any direction), correct?

    Could you post the output of show interface transceiver B1 detail command on you Core switch? given the S/N (compared to the other one) is the J4858C installed there an original OEM one (HP, HPE, Aruba)?

    Is the Single Mode fiber link certified?

    We cannot say that the port efficiency is 70%. When I increase the traffic, it can reach 1000 Mbit.

    I never wrote that "the port efficiency is 70%", I reported what you wrote...the traffic was 700 Mbps on a 1000 Mbps link (arithmetic says that - in that particular moment - the traffic used up to 70% of the link bandwidth, this doesn't mean that it is not going to saturate up to reaching 1000 Mbps).

    Why the J4859C on B1 shows no DOM information? is it original OEM or not?

    Hi @parnassus, Hi @dolanbay,

    i cannot iagine that one of the two transceivers is original HPE.

    1. Transceiver (B1) has a generic serial and reports no DOM (starting with C-Revision there was DOM on Board)
    2. Transceiver (49) shows the wrong allowed distance (20km instead of 10km - see attached screenshot)
    Possible errors could be:
    1. dirty fibre connection (fibre clean needed - both sides)
    2. broken fibre (replace or use of monomode-transceivers
    3. change patch-cable
    4. to much multicast (there is a multicast-limit on the interface - which could result in camera freeze)
       Do the cameras transport video via multicast to the subscribers (security-panel, video-recorder, etc.)
    etc. 
    Greetings
    Franz

    We use Longline J4859C 1000Base LX 1310nm 10km SFP Module HP compatible. 

    i tired

    int 49 rate-limit mcast in percent 100

    b1 rate-limit mcast in percent 100

    but it didn't work

    If I were you (clearly if budget permits) I would use a pair of the original OEM supported (by an updated Aruba 5400R zl2 and and updated Aruba 2530) LX SFP Transceiver by HPE Aruba Networking, that is a pair among those:

    • HPE X121 1G SFP LC LX Transceiver (J4859C) <--------------------------------- preferred
    • Aruba 1G SFP LC LX 10km SMF Transceiver (J4859D) <---------------------- alternative to J4859C
    • Aruba 1G SFP LC LX 10km SMF TAA Transceiver (JL746A) <----------------- Updated AOS-Switch software needed
    • Aruba 1G I-Tmp SFP LC LX 10km SMF Transceiver (JL781A) <-------------- Updated AOS-Switch software needed

    and - in any case - will try without the "rate-limit multi-cast" interface option (at least initially) to see how the connectivity over your Single Mode 9/125 um optic link (=<10 km) behaves.

    For sure original OEM Transceivers support DOM, with non original part there is nothing granted (neither pure performances).
