Interface Errors

[Matt Shields]

I believe it's the Intel 82541GI/PI Gigabit Ethernet. 
 
I should also mention the changes that we did in the last week. Before,
we had 3 switches, the fiber drop came into switch 1, but the firewall
was off of switch 3, which was interconnected by switch 2.  Don't
ask.... legacy setup.
OLD: (fiber -> switch 1 -> switch 2 -> switch 3 -> firewall)
 
Over the last week, we have setup a core switch with the firewall on it,
it also connects to all the other switches(7) depending on the cabinet
(each has it's own switch).  So now the firewall and fiber drop are on
the same core switch as opposed to having another switch in between
them.  All the switches are Powerconnect 5324's.  The way we've also
setup the cabinets switches try to keep traffic destined for that switch
on that switch.  Before when you made a web request, you bounce back and
forth for web, app, db, etc requests.  So if anything, our network
performance should be a lot better.

Which NIC do you have - Broadcom, Intel, or other?
