The output shows that the number of received (RX) packets is equal to the number of errors. This indicates that every packet that is being received is also being marked as an error. This could be due to a problem with the physical layer components of the network, such as cabling, connectors, or the network interface card itself.

GPT: In this case, the errors field shows that there are 45,332 errors, and this number matches the RX packets value, indicating that every packet received has encountered an error. Steps to troubleshoot: Check Physical Connections: Ensure that all cables are securely connected and not damaged. Inspect Network Interface: Verify that the network card is functioning correctly and has the correct driver installed. Sometimes, updating or reinstalling the network card drivers can resolve such issues. Check for Hardware Issues: There might be a hardware issue with the network card itself. Testing with a different network card can help identify if the problem is hardware-related. Examine Network Configuration: Verify that the network settings (e.g., speed, duplex settings) are correctly configured and match the settings on the connected devices (switches, routers, etc.). Look at Network Load: High network traffic or a misconfigured network can cause excessive errors. Monitor network traffic to see if it is unusually high.
