Re: Many Input Errors F0/0 without CRC

Well your counters have never been cleared on your interface, so it's
going by whatever your system uptime is in show version. I.e. Last
clearing of "show interface" counters never
So hard to know exactly how often your seeing this problem. There is
peak counters on small/middle buffers, 6 days ago for small and 1 week
for middle. This is probably why you see the misses/trims and could
relate to your ignored/throttles.

You can tweak small and middle, you need to clear your counters to get
a better feel if that's your issue.

Consider:

buffers small permanent 132
buffers small min-free 172
buffers small max-free 303
buffers middle permanent 40
buffers middle min-free 51
buffers middle max-free 150

Please do your homework before implementation. I do not know your
environment, these are only suggestions.

Throttle - Number of times the interface has flushed buffers as it
wasn't able to service fast enough or gets overwhelmed. Very
distruptive in nature.

Ignored - Number of received packets that get ignored by the interface
because it ran low on internal buffers.

Hopefully this will put your on the correct path to resolution.
