Submitted by sathya

Hi All,

I am using BCM 5395S ( 5-port giga switch) switch in my project. In that If i enable the 8021q ( to separate one port from other 4 ports) , then I am getting a lot of frame loss in IXIA tests. Can any one one point me some settings that I have to make additionally other than setting the forward and un-tag maps, to avoid these frame losses.

I have made a test without 8021q settings, With that I am getting zero frame loss.. Any inputs please ?

Hi, Do you use the port-vlan

Hi,

Do you use the port-vlan feature of the switch or just the normal vlan features to seperate a port?
Can you tell me on which port the frame loss occurs, you can read that out of the mibcounters of a port. this can give a clue why frames are getting dropped. Do you use autoneg to configure the ethernet phys?

regards
