Tunnel error message
Error Message%TUN-5-RECURDOWN : [chars] temporarily disabled due to recursive routing
Explanation When routing the same payload protocol over a carrier protocol (tunneling IP over IP, for example), it is possible to misconfigure your network so that you will try to route to the tunnel destination address via the tunnel. This is usually caused by a misconfiguration of the tunnel or a temporary instability because of route flapping elsewhere in your network. It is important to take steps to ensure that routing information between the carrier networks and the payload networks is not allowed to mix. If the router discovers a recursive routing problem, it will temporarily shut down the tunnel interface for a few minutes so that the situation causing this problem can resolve itself as routing protocols converge. If the problem is caused by misconfiguration, the link may oscillate indefinitely.

VINES Error Messages
Banyan Virtual Integrated Network Service error messages
Error Message%VINES-2-BADPARAM : [chars] called with [chars] parameter set to [chars]
Explanation One of the VINES lookup functions was called with an illegal argument.
Recommended Action Copy the message exactly as it appears, do a memory dump up to 128 bytes and the location specified in the error message, and report this information to your technical support representative.
Error Message%VINES-2-BADTIMER : RTP timer for [chars] was found disabled, and was reset
Explanation An internal interface timer is not running. This condition usually occurs after an interface is reset.
Recommended Action No action is required. The system automatically restarts the timer.
Error Message%VINES-2-CACHEFAILED : Cannot build cache entry ([dec] bytes) for %#z on [chars]
Explanation VINES fast switching detected that the packet destined to a given address did not have proper encapsulation information or its encapsulation size was too large to fit into the cache.
Recommended Action Verify that the VINES encapsulation and interface-specific mappings for the interface concerned are properly configured. Copy the message exactly as it appears, and report it your technical support representative.
Error Message%VINES-2-CACHEUNSUPP : Caching of [chars] not supported on [chars]
Explanation The cache population routing for VINES fast switching was called for an interface that does not support VINES fast switching.
Recommended Action Copy the message exactly as it appears, and report it your technical support representative. If other encapsulation types are available on the interface, try using them. If this problem is not limited to one or two destinations (but rather occurs with all traffic using the interface), disable VINES fast switching for the interface until you have identified the real cause of the problem.
Error Message%VINES-2-CONSISTENCY : Error [chars]
Explanation The VINES code ran into a situation that should not happen. For example, an IPC port number must be allocated, but all 65,535 port numbers are currently in use. Another possible cause is that VINES attempted to add a cache entry, but had no path associated with the destination address. This may cause temporary slow performance to only those stations that have experienced this inconsistency until complete cache entries are added. However, connectivity should not be lost, because all data traffic can still be routed via process-level switching.
Recommended Action Copy the message exactly as it appears, and report it your technical support representative. If the warning message is about IPC port number depletion, use the show vines ipc command to check how many IPC ports are currently in use by which services and determine whether the IPC connections are all legitimate. To release IPC ports, issue the clear vines ipc command. If the warning message is about vines cache entries, provide the contents of the vines route cache, neighbor, and route tables immediately after the error messages appeared. If the problem persists, issue the clear vines cache command, and monitor the router if the situation improves.
Error Message%VINES-2-CORRUPTENTRY : Detected a corrupted entry in the [chars] table
Explanation The VINES code detected that an internal table entry was corrupted.
Recommended Action Copy the message exactly as it appears, and report it your technical support representative. If possible, clear the VINES routing table or neighbor table, depending on the table in which the corrupted entry was observed. This will result in a temporary loss of connectivity until the routing or neighbor table is rebuilt.
Error Message%VINES-2-DUPADDR : Duplicate address detected on interface [chars]
Explanation The router detected that its VINES address is being used by another router.
Recommended Action To identify the other router that is using this address, manually inspect each router's configuration. When you have identified the router with the duplicate address, issue the vines routing recompute command on both routers, or issue the enable vines routing command, specifying specify a unique address. If one of the routers does not support the recompute keyword, disable VINES on that router, issue the write terminal command to save the configuration to memory, reboot the router, and then enter the vines routing command with a unique VINES address on the offending routers until each router has a unique address.
Error Message%VINES-2-ENCAPFAILED : Encapsulation failed for %#z via %#z on [chars]
Explanation VINES fast switching encountered an encapsulation failure when building a cache entry for a neighbor.
Recommended Action Examine your configuration for causes of the encapsulation failure. Look for missing map statements, interfaces that have gone down, and so on. If this error results in lost connectivity, disable VINES fast switching by issuing the no vines route-cache command. Because disabling fast switching will slow network performance, you should issue the vines route-cache command to re-enable fast switching as soon as you have identified the cause of the problem. If you cannot identify the cause, contact your technical support representative. Provide the output of the following commands for the destination address and neighboring routers you are using:
•
•
•
Also provide the output of the show interface and show vines interface commands for the incoming and outgoing interfaces.
Error Message%VINES-6-FNNOTFOUND : [chars] service [chars] routine missing [chars] vector
Explanation There is an inconsistency in the static VINES data structures for handling application-layer packets.

Error Message%VINES-2-INVALIDPATH : Bad [chars] in path for neighbor entry [v-name]
Explanation While searching the neighbor table, the code determined that a pointer that should point to a VINES path structure actually points to some other structure.
Recommended Action Copy the message exactly as it appears, and report it your technical support representative. If possible, clear the VINES neighbor table. This will result in a temporary loss of connectivity until all neighbors and routes are relearned.
Error Message%VINES-2-INVALIDROUTE : Bad [chars] in route for server entry [v-name]
Explanation While searching the routing table, the code determined that a pointer that should point to a VINES route structure actually points to some other structure.
Recommended Action Copy the message exactly as it appears, and report it your technical support representative. If possible, clear the VINES routing table. This will result in a temporary loss of connectivity until all routes are relearned.
Error Message%VINES-6-IPCNOROUTINE : IPC port [dec] registered without an upcall ([chars])
Explanation There is an inconsistency in the active VINES data structure for handling IPC data messages. A message was received for a port that should have a listener, but the listener routine cannot be found.
Recommended Action Examine the IPC ports currently supported on the router by issuing the show vines ipc command, and see whether the reported IPC port is indeed not active. Copy the message exactly as it appears, and report it to your technical support representative along with the output of the debug vines ipc command.
Error Message%VINES-2-NOBUFFERS : No buffers available for [chars]
Explanation There were no buffers available to send a VINES service query or reply.
Recommended Action Examine your system's memory and buffer capacity and compare it with current usage. If you notice a substantial discrepancy, monitor your system for possible memory leaks or buffer drainage. Report the problem to your technical support representative, along with the output of the following commands:
•
•
•
•
•
Error Message%VINES-2-NOVENCAP : Encapsulation failed on [chars] for address %#z
Explanation The VINES code tried to send a packet on an interface that does not have a new encapsulation routine for outbound packets.
Recommended Action Toggle the problematic interface by issuing the shutdown and no shutdown interface commands, and then issue the no vines metric and vines metric commands. If the problem persists, copy the message exactly as it appears, and report it your technical support representative. If possible, turn on and provide interface-specific debug traces, particularly for VINES activities.
Error Message%VINES-6-RPCNOSERVICE : IPC port [dec] registered without a service
Explanation There is an inconsistency in the active VINES data structure for handling Net RPC messages. A message was received for a port that should have a service description, but that service description cannot be found.
Recommended Action Enter the show vines ipc command and see whether the reported IPC port has a registered service. Copy the message exactly as it appears, and report it to your technical support representative, if possible, along with output of the debug vines netrpc command.
Error Message%VINES-6-RTNNOTFOUND : [chars] service [chars] routine not found while [chars]
Explanation There is an inconsistency in the active VINES service description data structures. A service handler routine cannot find the description of its own service.
Recommended Action Copy the message exactly as it appears, and report it your technical support representative. In addition, provide the output of the show vines service command and debug vines service traces for the service reported in the error message.
VIP Error Messages
Versatile Interface Processor error messages
Error Message%VIP-3-AFOVERFLOW : Ethernet address filter table full
Explanation VIP Ethernet-like interface uses an internal MAC address table to filter incoming packets. Once the table is full, additional address entries are rejected. Any incoming packet with destination address not in the table will be ignored.
Recommended Action The address table is consumed by various protocols (such as PIM or HSRP). If too many HSRP are configured for one interface, the entry could be exhausted. The suggested solution would be to distribute some of those HSRP entries to other Ethernet interface.

X25 Error Messages
X.25 error messages
Error Message%X25-3-ADDRESSBAD : Interface [chars], x25 address [chars] subaddress [char] is too long
Explanation This message occurs when a subaddress is configured. When this subaddress is combined with the interface's X.121 address, the total address exceeds the limit of 15 characters.
Recommended Action Reconfigure the subaddress so that this does not happen.
Error Message%X25-3-BADCONFIG : Interface [chars], X.25 [chars], current config. retained
Explanation The interface's X.25 configuration is not valid. The existing configuration was not changed.
Recommended Action Verify the following: The interface's switched virtual circuit ranges do not overlap; for nonzero values, lic <= hic < ltc <= htc < loc <= hoc. (For more information, refer to "Configuring X.25 and LAPB " in the Wide-Area Networking Configuration Guide.) If an incoming-only range is defined, check that it is numerically less than the two-way range. If an outgoing-only range is defined, check that it is numerically greater than the two-way range. No virtual circuit high/low parameter is zero unless its partner low/high parameter is also zero. The default window sizes are less than the interface modulo.
Error Message%X25-4-BADMBIT : Interface [chars], VC [dec], partial data packet has M-bit set
Explanation This message occurs when a virtual circuit is set up using the default maximum packet sizes, but the DTE and DCE are not configured with the same default values. A packet was received that had the M-bit set, signifying that more data follows, but the packet did not carry the maximum number of bytes allowed. Such partial data packets must have the M-bit cleared. The resulting loss of a message boundary might cause problems for the data recipient.
Recommended Action Verify the default flow-control parameters of the DTE and the DCE. If this message recurs, call your technical support representative for assistance.
Error Message%X25-4-BADUPCALL : Interface [chars], Unexpected call ([chars]) from LLC2 DTE=[hex][hex].[hex][hex].[hex][hex].
Explanation An internal software error occurred.
Recommended Action If this message recurs, call your technical support representative for assistance.
Error Message%X25-3-COMPERR : Interface [chars] LCI [dec] low-level stac compression error

Error Message%X25-3-INTIMEQ : Interface [chars], LCN [dec] already in timer queue, new time [dec]
Explanation An internal software error occurred.
Recommended Action If this message recurs, call your technical support representative for assistance.
Error Message%X25-4-LARGEPKSIZE : Interface [chars], [chars] packet sizes [dec]/[dec] too large; lower values will be negotiated
Explanation The interface's default packet sizes or outgoing packet size facility values are too large to be carried by Link Access Procedure, Balanced (LAPB).
Recommended Action The router will negotiate lower packet size values automatically. The LAPB N1 value should be increased. For example, for an X.25 maximum packet size of 1024, Modulo 8 X.25 operation will add 3 bytes of overhead and Modulo 8 LAPB operation will add 4 bytes of overhead (the two bytes of CRC are defined to be included). This means that N1 must be at least 1031 bytes * 8 = 8248.
Error Message%X25-3-LCIBOGUS : in x25_timer NULL lci_idb [hex]
Explanation An internal software error occurred.
Recommended Action Copy the message exactly as it appears, and report it your technical support representative.
Error Message%X25-5-NOBUF : Interface [chars] LCI [dec] [chars]
Explanation This is a warning only (the compressed packet was not lost). However, an X.25 packet layer RNR (wait) was generated and packet-level transmission on the logical channel number (LCN) will not resume (RR issued) until a decompression buffer becomes available.
Recommended Action If this message occurs frequently, you may need to modify the buffer pool. Copy the message exactly as it appears, and report it your technical support representative.
Error Message%X25-3-NOLCI : Interface [chars], Delete: lci [dec] not found in [chars] table
Explanation An internal software error occurred.
Recommended Action If this message recurs, call your technical support representative for assistance.
Error Message%X25-3-NOTFINDBH : Can't find bfe host address [int] to delete
Explanation An internal software error occurred.
Recommended Action If this message recurs, call your technical support representative for assistance.
Error Message%X25-4-PARTIALMAP : Interface [chars], [chars] encapsulation call from [chars] partially mapped to [chars]
Explanation An incoming X.25 call specified a protocol that was assigned to a multiprotocol map; the virtual circuit (VC) will not be able to carry the full set of protocols specified by the map.
Recommended Action Modify the configuration of the router or the far host to match the encapsulation method used.
Error Message%X25-5-PBPDBIT : Interface [chars] LCI [dec] PBP Compression does not support X25 D bit
Explanation Compression is not enabled because D-bit support is configured for the LCI.
Recommended Action Reconfigure without D-bit support, or do not attempt to run with compression.
Error Message%X25-5-PBPHOLDQ : Interface [chars] LCI [dec] X25 Hold queue needs to be at least default size
Explanation An attempt was made to configure the X.25 hold queue to less than the minimum value.
Recommended Action Configure the X.25 hold queue to be ten or more.
Error Message%X25-5-PBPNOEND : Interface [chars] LCI [dec] End system not configured for X25 PBP
Explanation A compression or decompression operation was attempted by a router other than an end router. Only end routers can perform compression and decompression.
Recommended Action Reconfigure the routers so that only the end routers in the network perform compression and decompression.
Error Message%X25-3-PVCBAD : Interface [chars], PVC [dec], [chars]
Explanation A switched permanent virtual circuit (PVC) cannot be connected. The final [chars] text string in the message represents the state of the PVC. These text strings can also appear in show x25 vc output. For more information, refer to the show x25 vc documentation in the Wide-Area Networking Command Reference publication.
Recommended Action Validate the configuration of the PVCs at both ends of the connection, and reconfigure them if necessary.
Error Message%X25-4-RANGEUNUSED : Interface [chars], [chars] VC range unused; set limits to zero
Explanation An outgoing-only or incoming-only virtual circuit range exactly overlaps the two-way virtual circuit range. This was the former method for specifying that a virtual circuit range was not used. The current method is to set the range limits to zero.
Recommended Action Use the privileged copy running-config startup-config command to write the configuration to memory. This will store the modified (zero) range limits.
Error Message%X25-3-SIZEBAD : Interface [chars] LCI [dec] Decompression size error
Explanation An internal software error occurred. The PBP header has an uncompressed packet size field. Each uncompressed packet size is checked against this field.
Recommended Action Contact your technical support representative for assistance.
Error Message%X25-3-SPURD1 : Interface [chars], Spurious D1 timer wakeup on LCI [dec]

Recommended Action Contact your technical support representative for assistance.
Error Message%X25-4-VCLOSTSYNC : Interface [chars], VC [dec] TCP connection [chars]
Explanation An X.25 circuit that is being tunneled over a TCP connection between routers was cleared ungracefully. The last [chars] text string in the message can take one of two forms. If the text string is closed unexpectedly, the router at the remote end of the connection was rebooted, or the connection failed. If the text string is connection corrupted, it is likely that the connection was made to a router running an older software release.
Recommended Action If the text string is closed unexpectedly, re-establish the connection after the remote router or intervening network is operational. If the text string is connection corrupted, upgrade the router at the other end of the connection to a more recent software release.
Error Message%X25-3-VERSIONBAD : Interface [chars] LCI [dec] Compression Version mismatch expected [hex] received [hex]
Explanation An internal software error occurred. The PBP header has a mismatched version field. The version is checked on each received packet.
Recommended Action Copy the message exactly as it appears, and report it your technical support representative.
Error Message%X25-3-XOTPROTOCOL : XOT protocol error from [int]: [chars]
Explanation A protocol error was detected over an X.25-over-TCP (XOT) connection, causing the connected VC to close. A flaw may exist in the remote host's XOT implementation.
Recommended Action If this message recurs, call your technical support representative for assistance.
