Receive Errors/Drops on vmnic

Hi

We have on all our 4 ESX these Interface errors. They are connected to different switches, so it could not be a faulty cable or port.
But There no detailed counters why the were registered under errors.
Is there another solution to find out what is causing this?

Hello.
you need version and build of the eSXi you are using
run the following commands on an SSH session on the ESXi host and post your results
escli network nic list
esxcli network nic get -n vmnic5
