I am getting these messages:
Jun 17 08:53:14 example kernel: em2: watchdog timeout -- resetting
Jun 17 08:53:14 example kernel: em2: link state changed to DOWN
Jun 17 08:53:17 example kernel: em2: link state changed to UP
Jun 17 11:07:38 example kernel: em2: watchdog timeout -- resetting
Jun 17 11:07:38 example kernel: em2: link state changed to DOWN
Jun 17 11:07:41 example kernel: em2: link state changed to UP
on an interface that does about 100Mbps all day.
[1] should I worry about it (only happens a couple of times a day)?
[2] will setting dev.em.2.rx_int_delay help?
couldn't find too much documentation on it... Best I could get:
http://www.intel.com/support/network/sb/cs-009209.htm
[3] what, in you best estimation, is causing these wathdog events?
