[SRX5308] ERROR: miiSwitchRegisterRead: Timeout

I have the following in the logs of my SRX5308 [latest FW 4.3.3-6]. The messy alignment is verbatim.

This seems to happen mostly under heavy load, in particular with >4  large files downloading under http, over 2 or 3 WANs each with effective download bandwith approaching 70 Mbit/s. These messages correspond to observed failures of the downloads.

 

Rebooting the SRX5308 does not cure the problem.

 

Any idea?

  • Just guessing: that miiSwitchRegisterRead seems to refer to the Media Independent Interface (a standardized interface between an Ethernet logic IC and a PHYsical interface IC connected to the Ethernet magnetics), and suggests that a switch-related register can't be read.

     

    Also: I notice that when the high traffic coinciding with these errors is underway, log-on to the SRX5308's web interface is extremely slow. This all points to the SRX5308 being maxed out by the heavy traffic.

      I have the same issue on my FVS336GV3 latest FW. I have all the error messages below after reboot, without any traffic.
