If we want to confirm if the network issue is already fixed or not, we can clear the network error counter and then monitor the system for some days under normal workload.
This is to check if the network error counter is still increasing quickly or not.
How to clear error counter of ethtool and ifconfig? Here are 2 ways:
1. Reboot server
2. Use below commands to clear the counter:
To reset:
bcu ethport --statsclr 1/0To check:
bcu ethport --stats 1/0(PS: "1/0" stands for eth2 and "1/1" stands for eth3)
One example
[root@xxx ~]# ethtool -S eth2 (...) rx_fifo_errors: 4024 (...)Clear:
[root@xxx ~]# bcu ethport --statsclr 1/0 Successfully reset the ethernet port statsAfter clearing:
[root@xxx ~]# ethtool -S eth2 (...)rx_fifo_errors: 0 (...)
BCU - it's a package from broadcom? I don't see any packages with bcu executable binary
