Hi Adrian, I think a complete "show interface fastethernet X/Y" would be useful in order to consider how many drops are present as compared to the total number of packets and to get details about these drops !
Then, input drops are quite unusual, as it means that the input buffer was full at certain period of time. You should understand that (on a router) your input buffer is filled in by the controller as packets arrive and they are then unbuffered and handled by the CPU according to the forwarding scheme chosen (if your router allows CEF, I recommand you to ensure it is activated). If your CPU is overloaded, he has not enough time for handling some critical task, such as handling the input queues... So regarding your input drops, I would recommend you to first check your CPU usage and to ensure that your router is not overloaded. If not, you will have to check if your CPU is not overloaded at certain period of time by monitoring this value, as well as the input queue drop counter. We can have more informations about both the input/output drops with a complete show interface. If you can also describe the network topology where this router is installed, it would help us to understand if you are facing a potential aggregation or speed mismatch problem.
