No, There was a issue a month or two back but it cleared up on its own. We never found a problem. The only ongoing issue is line level drops(2-10/sec.) on Unix servers. the servers network works and there are no errors anywhere else I know to look.
Was anything recently changed/added to the network? Any configuration changes?
As far as configurations nothing has changed since 2000. The network has doubled in size but the last thing we put on the network was weeks before the issue was found.
Is this a new setup or has it been working fine up until now?
Currently there are no errors or slowdown I can see. Do I have to look at every port on every switch on the network?
The network is live 24/7 so disconnecting switches is not possible. I am looking for the easiest way to figure out if One there is a network problem and two what the problem is?
If there is a problem I would be looking at fixing it long enough to be able to upgrade it. If there is not a problem I would be looking at setting up a new design and a plan to do the up grade in stages maybe switch by switch.
I know the normal numbers of errors vary a lot but can you give me an ideal of how many drop, collisions and fragments you could see before you would look into it?
>10/hr? >100/hr? >1000/hr?
I will not hold you to this. I will only use this info as a guide.
Looking at the web inter face I have no collisions or dropped packets on the switch port and 3 dropped packets on the servers NIC interface in an hour or two.
I can see collisions drops and fragments on other ports. To include 1926454 collisions on one port and 22862 dropped packets on port 24 the fiber link to the other central switch(6024).
I have had my laptop pinging the server during the complete test. Unix's ping will ping about once per second until you stop it. I have also had a ssh connection with the server for the one to two hours I was testing without problems. Ssh is like telnet but with a security tunnel.

Are we seeing any poor network performance?
No, There was a issue a month or two back but it cleared up on its own. We never found a problem. The only ongoing issue is line level drops(2-10/sec.) on Unix servers. the servers network works and there are no errors anywhere else I know to look.

It was put online in 2000.
I am getting the rest of the information.
Thank you for the quick turn around.

update.

I will continue to look though the switches.
