List, Recently I turned my server into an online gamming server. It is a Red Hat 7.3 server that is ALL up2date as of 7/12/03. Shortly after running as a game server I noticed that when I do an ifconfig, I get some overruns. No errors or other annomolys, just the overruns. Below is an example output of ifconfig. Is this something to worry about, and what exactly is an overrun?
Thanks In Advance!!! ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr <Hidden> inet addr:<Hidden> Bcast:<Hidden> Mask:255.255.255.248 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:98968552 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:83942632 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:62 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:3401614026 (3244.0 Mb) TX bytes:3271611188 (3120.0 Mb) Interrupt:17 Base address:0x5000 eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:01:AF:01:47:1C inet addr:10.100.125.10 Bcast:10.100.125.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:104795710 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:49 TX packets:90891163 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:19 carrier:13 collisions:3361949 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:3870402693 (3691.1 Mb) TX bytes:3825077645 (3647.8 Mb) Interrupt:18 Base address:0x7000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:5156146 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:5156146 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:2234341764 (2130.8 Mb) TX bytes:2234341764 (2130.8 Mb) vmnet8 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:56:C0:00:08 inet addr:10.100.125.1 Bcast:10.100.125.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:138819 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) -- Joe Giles [EMAIL PROTECTED] AOL: mcigiles ------- Registered Linux User #264910 http://counter.li.org ------- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
