networking errors, what do they mean?
Background.
I have a machine with two NIC interfaces. I run them in a bond (failover
mode). I then have a bridging interface, br0, which uses bond0.
The bond0 is showing errors in ifconfig -a.
bond0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr b8:ad:6f:92:eb:c3
inet6 addr: fe80::baac:6eff:fe92:ebc3/64 Scope:Link
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MASTER MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:4445581 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:1487769 errors:1084 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:1084
collisions:2657 txqueuelen:0
RX bytes:423232914 (403.6 MiB) TX bytes:389781613 (371.7 MiB)
If I look at the slave devices eth1 shows no errors whereas eth0 does.
Not too surprising ass the active slave is currently eth0.
br0 is used by various KVM VMs all with static IPs. My question is I've
not noticed any untoward misbehaviour of any networked services. But is
this something I should worry about/investigate. And if so how?
