Discards and Errors | MDS 9513

hey all ,

    I'm seeing a lot of discards and errors on our mds9513 . We are running  at NX - 5.2.2 (yeah we are due for an upgrade ) .

how do I figure out which port is it with these high  discards ,  what commads do I use .

I do a  #show interface |inc errors  (this one is to just quickly check the number of errors and discards )

CISCO -9513-MDS1# show interface |inc errors

        0 discards, 0 errors

        0 discards, 0 errors

        0 discards, 0 errors

       1396 discards, 1265 errors

        0 discards, 0 errors

        0 discards, 0 errors

        0 discards, 0 errors

        0 discards, 0 errors

        0 discards, 0 errors

        0 discards, 0 errors

help me figure out the port number here please , I cant seem to figure it out . Also what troubleshooting is to be done before I clear the counters on the port ?

Regards

AE

    "sh int counters"

    i would start with replacing SFP, then move on to cables, patch panel, HBA.

            0 discards, 0 errors

            0 discards, 0 errors

            0 discards, 0 errors

            0 discards, 0 errors
