Using large ftps, we isolated the flakey component, which turned out to be a p3280. Now we're seeing this same error msg on one particular gateway, and not on any others. It doesn't appear to be serious yet, but we are wondering: 1) What does this error msg mean? We can't seem to find more than generalities in the manuals (maybe we aren't looking in the right place...). 2) What should we replace first? (The first choice would seem to be the p80 interface in the gw, but any advice is welcome.) 3) Lots of these error msgs seem to correlate well with a high ratio of 'output refused' to 'output packets' on the p80 interface. Just from simple monitoring of our ring, a ratio of less than .01 seems to be 'normal' and it has climbed up to .06 - .07 on this one gw. Does anyone have a sense of what these numbers 'should' be? Thanks, Cliff
