Bridge errors

Products PMP
1

We have an issue with a 450d SM which is getting a lot of errors on the Bridge Control Block.

Getting high counts on FECutoss and also on ErrApFecQSend.

Is anybody able to shed some light on what these numbers mean and how I can rectify it?

Getting connectivity issues with the customer PPPoE constantly dropping and reconnecting and the radio timing out a lot as well.

Thanks

Colin

Hi Colin,

Could you please confirm the software version the radio is running on? also is this the only SM you are facing this issue?

Regards,

Sanjay Kumar.

Hi Sanjay

Just this one CPE is showing issues - all other CPE's on the AP are ok.

We rebooted the radio and since then there have been no issues so perhaps it was a once off.

Can you give some info on what the Bridge statistics represent?

Thanks

Hi Collins,

Please find the below details of the "Bridge Control Blocks"attributes

Attribute  Meaning 
FEC bin  This field indicates the number of broadcast packets received by the bridge control block on the Ethernet interface 
FEC bout  This field indicates the number of broadcast packets sent by the bridge control block on the Ethernet interface 
FEC btoss  This field indicates the number of broadcast packets tossed out by the bridge control block on the Ethernet interface 
FEC btosscap  This field indicates the number of broadcast packets tossed out at the Ethernet interface due to MIR cap being exceeded. 
FEC uin  This field indicates the number of unicast packets received by the bridge control block on the Ethernet interface 
FEC uout  This field indicates the number of unicast packets sent by the bridge control block on the Ethernet interface 
FEC utoss  This field indicates the number of unicast packets tossed by the bridge control block on the Ethernet interface 
FEC utosscap  This field indicates the number of unicast packets tossed out at the Ethernet interface due to MIR cap being exceeded. 
RF bin  This field indicates the number of broadcast packets received by the bridge control block on the radio interface 
RF bout  This field indicates the number of broadcast packets sent by the bridge control block on the radio interface 
RF btoss  This field indicates the number of broadcast packets tossed by the bridge control block on the radio interface 
RF btosscap  This field indicates the number of broadcast packets tossed out at the radio interface due to MIR cap being exceeded. 
RF uin  This field indicates the number of unicast packets received by the bridge control block on the radio interface 
RF uout  This field indicates the number of unicast packets sent by the bridge control block on the radio interface 
RF utoss  This field indicates the number of unicast packets tossed by the bridge control block on the radio interface 
RF utosscap  This field indicates the number of unicast packets tossed out at the radio interface due to MIR cap being exceeded. 
ErrNI1QSend  This field indicates that a packet which was sourced from the radio network stack interface 1 (Ethernet interface) could not be sent because the radio bridge queue was full. The packet was tossed out.
