    My customer has an FDDI ring consisting of 8 X Cisco AGS+ Bridge
    Routers.
    
    Each Cisco bridge router is configured with 8 ethernet interfaces and
    one FDDI DAS interface.
    
    Each of the CISCOs is reporting input framing errors (approx 200 in an
    hour).
    
    We have attached a LANhawk analyser on several postions on the ring and
    it can detect no errors even while the ciscos are still clocking up
    input framing errors.
    
    Has anyone seen this problem with Cisco before?
    
    thanks

|     I was just talking with a customer last week with similar symptoms. I
    suggest that this may be a symptom of the performance issues noted by
    Scott Bradner. They will be looking into this in more detail but I
    canshed no further light on it.

| 879.2 | More to the frame count | YUPPY::HOUSTON | Tue Mar 02 1993 09:35 | 10 | |
|     Using the FDDI LANhawk and attaching the analyser to various parts of
    the DAS FDDI ring and interrogating the EFS of the frame; in all cases
    of different types of protocol frames (TCP/IP, DECNET, UDP, ICMP/IP)
    analysed, the E bit was always observed to be (R)eset.
    
    We are currently asking the client contractor who installed the FDDI
    patch to re OTDR this patch at 1300 nm and are awaiting the results
    of this trace.
