Explanation A hardware component failed an internal diagnostic test. Test output and descriptions
of ranges follow.
Unit [dec] (ranges 0-14):
Indicates the Multibus jumper setting for the ciscoBus controller, or a slot number in the Cisco 7000.
daughter controller [dec] (ranges 0-3):
Indicates the ciscoBus relative slot number (0 to 3, or in the Cisco 7000, 0 to 4) of the daughter card that failed the test.
failed [chars] test ([chars]= memd read, memd write):
If the failed test was memd read, the processor was able to write to shared ciscoBus buffer memory from the ciscoBus registers, but was unable to read back that memory through special commands to the daughter card.
If the failed test was memd write, writes to the memory device through the daughter card were not verified successfully with reads through the ciscoBus controller.
The daughter card under test responds successfully to some commands (otherwise, the software would have received a DAUGHTER_NO_RSP message), but its memory device tests failed. The daughter card must be able to write to some memory device addresses; otherwise, it cannot respond to any commands.
Recommended Action First check that the daughter controller card is properly seated in its Multibus

identity did not match the information gleaned from the distinguished name of the peer's certificate.
Recommended Action Contact the remote peer if this situation persists.
Error Message
%CRYPTO-4-IKMP_NO_SA
: IKE message from %15i has no SA and is not an initialization
offer
Explanation IKE maintains state for a communication in the form of security associations. No
security association exists for this packet and it is not an initial offer from the peer to establish one.
This situation could denote a denial of service attack.
Recommended Action Contact the remote peer's administrator.
Error Message

Error Message
%CRYPTO-4-IKMP_PKT_OVERFLOW
: ISAKMP message from %15i larger (%ld) than the UDP
packet length (%ld)
Explanation IKE messages are carried in UDP packets and have their own message length field. This
message's message length field was greater than the length of the UDP packet. This situation could
indicate a denial of service attack.
Recommended Action Contact the remote peer's administrator.
Error Message
%CRYPTO-6-IKMP_SA_NOT_AUTH
: Cannot accept Quick Mode exchange from %15i if SA is
not authenticated!
Explanation The IKE security association with the remote peer was not authenticated yet the peer
attempted to begin a Quick Mode exchange. This exchange must only be done with an authenticated

by the router waiting for new security associations (SAs) to be established. In the inbound case, this
failure may also be caused by an actual replay attack, which could be considered a hostile event.
Recommended Action If the problem appears to be more than a transient problem, contact the peer's
administrator.
Error Message
%CRYPTO-3-POLLING
: Polling for certificate response...
Explanation GetCertInitial is polling for a certificate response.
Recommended Action Wait for the server's response or cancel the polling.

(ident) local=[int], remote=[int]
local proxy=[int]/[int]/[dec]/[dec]
remote_proxy=[int]/[int]/[dec]/[dec]
Explanation Decapsulated IPSEC packet does not match the negotiated identity. The peer is sending
other traffic through this security association (SA), which may be caused by an SA selection error
by the peer. This error could be considered a hostile event.
Recommended Action Contact the peer's administrator to compare policy settings.
Error Message
%CRYPTO-4-RECVD_PKT_INV_IDENTITY_ACL
: ipsec check access: identity not allowed by
ACL
(ip) dest_addr= [int], src_addr= [int], prot= [dec]
Explanation The decapsulated packet fails the ACL check. The peer is sending other traffic through
this security association (SA), which may be caused by an SA selection error by the peer. This error
could be considered a hostile event.
Recommended Action Contact the peer's administrator to compare policy settings.
Error Message
%CRYPTO-4-RECVD_PKT_INV_PROT
: decapsulate: packet missing [chars], destadr=[int],
actual prot=[dec]
Explanation A received IPSEC packet is missing an expected AH or ESP header. The peer is sending
packets that do not match the negotiated security policy. This error could be considered a hostile
event.
Recommended Action Contact the peer's administrator.
Error Message
%CRYPTO-4-RECVD_PKT_INV_SPI
: decaps: rec'd IPSEC packet has invalid spi for
destaddr=[int], prot=[dec], spi=0x[hex]([dec])
Explanation A received IPSEC packet specifies an SPI that does not exist in the security association
database (SADB). This may be a temporary condition resulting from slight differences in the aging
of SAs between the IPSEC peers, or because the local SAs have been cleared. It may also be caused
by bogus packets being sent by the IPSEC peer. Some might consider this a hostile event.
Recommended Action If the local SAs have been cleared, the peer may not know this. In this case, if
a new connection is established from the local router, the two peers may reestablish successfully. If
the problem occurs for more than a brief period, either attempt to establish a new connection or
contact the peer's administrator.
Error Message
%CRYPTO-4-RECVD_PKT_MAC_ERR
: decrypt: mac verify failed for connection id=[dec]
Explanation MAC verify processing failed. This may be caused by either party using the wrong key
during the MAC calculations. Some might consider this a hostile event.
Recommended Action Contact the peer's administrator.
Error Message
%CRYPTO-4-RECVD_PKT_MSG_LEN_ERR
: decapsulate: packet has bad [chars] length
destadr=[int], prot=[dec], len=[dec]
Explanation A received IPSEC packet is malformed, possibly because of an encapsulation error. The
peer is sending malformed packets that may be caused by a decryption error. Some might consider
this a hostile event.
Recommended Action Contact the peer's administrator.
Error Message
%CRYPTO-4-RECVD_PKT_NOT_IPSEC
: Rec'd packet not an IPSEC packet.
(ip) dest_addr= [int], src_addr= [int], prot= [dec]
Explanation A received packet matched the crypto map access control list (ACL), but is not
IPSEC-encapsulated. The IPSEC peer is sending unencapsulated packets. There may be a policy
setup error on the peer or it could be a hostile event.
Recommended Action Contact the peer's administrator to compare policy settings.
