I'm trying to make CRC errors with scapy on Linux, but the Cisco 3750 and 2950 switches won't show any CRC or FCS errors. I just wanted to make some to help someone testing SNMP. Wiresharks running on both my Linux eth2 port and on the SPAN port show "Frame check sequence: 0x61616161 [incorrect, should be 0xcfc42298]".
Any ideas on what could be the issue? I'm guessing Cisco just expects the FCS to be somewhere else.
