Most Tx and Rx errors on switch ports were usually related to poorly terminated cabling in my experience, very rarely to misconfigured or faulty interfaces. Reset counters as already suggested by @dafyre at both ends and see if the numbers grow up quickly again.
Yeah that wouldn't surprise me since many of these cable runs are old and the maintenance guy (non-IT) did a lot of the cable work. I've seen some bad cables and had problems with some terminations and tried to fix them only to have the problem persist. I'm thinking we have a lot of stuff not run properly or draped over electrical things in our ceiling. And we have a lot of stuff up there as its a really old building. Point is, I'm very inclined to think that the runs between switches should be replaced.

Could be the case. A cable tester (good one) should be able to tell you the quality of the runs. Might save time and money.

Just move it to a different switch port in the network closet. If that switch port shows the same things and the other one stops then you know what the problem is somewhere in the line or the computer or the phone. At that point you can then patch the phone to a different network jack with a long cable temporarily and eliminates the run as the problem. Finally you can change the cable between the phone in the computer. That eliminates all of the wiring. That leaves you with the devices. Swap the phone and see if it still happens. This is just a basic process of elimination.

Yes, I already switched ethernet ports on the wall and I'm still seeing the issue. I haven't changed the phone yet though. Waiting for the user to go on lunch.

I have a Fluke Networks MT-8200-49A Cable Tester and in the past when I have checked the connections, I don't get any errors. This might be a crappy cable tester though.

Fluke is quality stuff. If it says that the line is clear, I'd believe it. Do you get packed loss across the line?

wont iperf3 be more effiecent and faster, just run it on suspected nodes and test the throughput and test on a good node and compare
I've literally never heard of iperf3 before.

@dave247 : Have you performed a netstat -ps on another device in another network?
I'm here with a computer hardwired directly to a router in a new installation I'm working on today and am getting similar results to yours (except 0 redirects).I'm guessing this is completely normal...

Never heard of choco either!
That's weird, I had someone else say that like five days ago. Chocolatey is "the" package management system for Windows, even Microsoft uses it for official stuff (sometimes.) It's like the super awesome secret tool of Windows admins. It's crazy popular around here, I swear all of us use it. Makes Windows administration so much better.
yeah - but it's still basically a completely unknown entity.

The Cisco phones are on their own VLAN separate from the PC LAN. I wonder if that has anything to do with it...
IIRC, the last place I worked, we had to do this on just about every PC that was connected to a Phone (Mitel phones, not Cisco).
I'm still doing it - on 100/m phones.

yeah I did it on my pc at home and saw similar results and came to about the same conclusion that it's probably completely normal
