@sysadminfromhell while I personally wouldn't be too concerned with such minor amount of errors - unless there was something actually not working how it should and tracked it down to these sorts of errors.

But I would be interested in what you find, etc. Sometimes such little minor things can be fun to track down, but they can also be huge time sucks - hehehe

I can not tell you the amount of time I spent trying to figure out why plex will send out ssdp every freaking 10 seconds, when all the things are disabled for why it might or could have use for doing such a thing.

Posted over on the plex forums - got back crickets.. Couple of users posted that they noticed it too.. But no solution, in the long run I just ended blocking such traffic at the switch port.. Plex can send them out every 10 seconds, it goes no farther than switch port at the end of its wire... Stupid shit!! hehehe

So yeah would be very interested in what you find.. You never know might run into such a thing sometime down the road and what you find could be the solution there.. So good luck! Hope you track it down..

I recall something sim as well, on some cheap smart switch.. It would mark RxBadPkt, and the counter would constantly go up - even though everything was working fine.. It was just a cosmetic error, any packets marked with tags got marked as RxBadPkt, So native untagged wouldn't trigger the stat, but all tags coming in would.. All the vlans actually worked, etc. but they would just increase that counter.. That was a time suck for sure.. Finally just had to let it go ;)

So i reduced the errors with disabling flow control completly, now we still jave errors but a lot less then before:

Uptime 7 Days 03 Hours 18 Minutes 15 Seconds

So I guess this was one source of the problem even I cannot find all of them this looked at least like a good start even the VLAN Interfaces still have errors out. (a minor few packets)
