Hello Arthur,
I checked one of the remote router's ethernet interface and it wasn't
set to full duplex, so i changed it and the CRC's went down, but still
getting some, about 5 every 5 minutes or so.

I was going to suggest doing a sh int on the other end of the ethernet
link (you should have seen Collisions & Late Collisions, plus seen
what it had for a Duplex configuration).

Setting Auto/Auto at each end might work, otherwise forcing both ends
of the link as 100Mb/FullDuplex might be required.

For a comms link like this, specifying 100/FD on both ends would be
the preferable planned configuration, I think.

Having said that, I had one recently where collisions and/or other
errors were generated on a link with every single combination of speed/
duplex EXCEPT Auto/Auto, which was weird.


make sure you stick to a standard configuration for NICs and switch
ports. either have both side in auto-negotiate or hard-coded. there
have been many times where i argued with the server deployment team to
set their NICs to 100/full since i hard-code my switch ports to 100/
full.

collisions / align errors / runts are good indicators of duplex
mismatches.
