interface Ierrs

[Vijay Singh]

Hi. I am seeing errors reported by "netstat -i". I am running a 7.2 kernel.

delta88b% netstat -i
Name    Mtu Network       Address              Ipkts Ierrs    Opkts Oerrs  Coll
eth1    1500 <Link#2>      00:a0:98:08:6c:ef 17515937 114620 12317753

How do I find out why there are these errors?

I see that there are enough mbufs, and though there are mbuf failures
reported, the Ierrs are significantly higher.

delta88b% netstat -m
6441/26064/32505 mbufs in use (current/cache/total)

Any help is appreciated.
