discards message for Eth0

[Ashwani (ATT)]

Hi Tteam,

Can someone suggest if anyone had a trouble with if_in_discards? 

only if_in_discards is increasing however if_out_discards is stable and zero. due to this we are receiving discards alarm for Etho interface. I have checked speed is set to 1000 auto detected and other settings are also normal. There is no trouble with calls as welll however counts for if_in_discards is still increasing.

Hello Ashwani (ATT),

• What Polycom Product? Group 500
• What Software Version? Release - 4.3.2-260007
• What Scenario? So your polling server is sending these alarms.

Threshold Alarm (Discards (-eth0)=156.000) > 0 for 3/3 cycles

for this endpoint.

I have checked many more as well and similar alarms for most of the polycom devices. 

I am not sure what is causing as initially looks like there is no trouble with calls.
