Symptom
A Nexus 3548 switch may increment the interface "input error" counter when receiving pause frames.
Example:
RX
0 unicast packets 266 multicast packets 0 broadcast packets
266 input packets 17024 bytes
0 jumbo packets 0 storm suppression packets
0 runts 0 giants 0 CRC 0 no buffer
266 input error 0 short frame 0 overrun 0 underrun 0 ignored
Further Problem Description
This is expected behavior, and is cosmetic only.
The documentation has been modified to include:
"For LLFC configuration, the pause frames will be counted as input errors and input discards."
