Hi Everyone,
I have a question about a strange counter I am seing on one of my ssg-5's. This perticular SSG has been having connectivity issues with the Internet, the SSG periodacly looses connectivity (3-4 seconds). After looking at the hardware counters to determine if there are any errors I noticed that the drop vlan counter was really high. Does anyone know what this is? I read the description in the help but it seems strange that this would happen on a public interface.
Heres is the shot of the counters. Also below is the def of dropvlan
in no buffer 0
out no buffer 0
re xmt limit 0
in overrun 0
out underrun 0
drop vlan 1370208
in coll err 0
out coll err 0
out cs lost 0
in misc err 0
out misc err 0
in dma err 0
out bs pak 0
in crc err 0
out discard 0
in align err 0
out defer 0
in short frame 0
out heartbeat 0
drop vlan: Indicates the number of dropped packets because of missing VLAN tags, an undefined subinterface, or because VLAN trunking was not enabled when the security device was in Transparent mode.
