MBUS Messages

The following are maintenance bus (Mbus) error messages.

Error Message  

%MBUS-3-BADCLK : Slot [dec] does not see fabric clock from [chars]
Card will not operate on fabric using this clock

Explanation    The slot does not see the fabric clock. The slot must see the fabric clock from at least one of the CSCs. If just one CSC is present, the card must synchronize to that clock to operate on the fabric. If two CSCs are present, the following cases are possible. If the CSCs were configured to be redundant, the card will function if it can synchronize to at least one of the clocks. The card will be configured to use that clock in the nonredundant mode. If the CSCs are not redundant (when one CSC is defective), the whole chassis will be configured for one of the two CSCs and all the cards must synchronize to the primary CSC. A card that has failed to synchronize to the selected primary CSC will not operate over the fabric. Note that if two CSCs are present, they will be configured as redundant unless the clocks fail to lock. That error message should have been reported earlier in the process.

Recommended Action    Verify that the card is seated correctly. Try to reset or power-cycle the card. Run diagnostics for the card if possible. If the condition persists, copy the error message exactly as it appears along with previous error messages and report it to your Cisco technical support representative.

Error Message  

%MBUS-0-CLKFAIL : Switched Primary Clock to [chars] ; FS error in slot [int]

Explanation    A hardware failure has occurred. The primary clock for the system had to be switched because frame synchronization errors were detected in the specified slot. The switch will take place under the conditions described below. Note that when the switch to a new clock is made, the RP and CSC combination is not known to have failed previously. The switch is made when the following are true:

The GRP/primary CSC detects frame synchronization failures.

The GLC/SFC/Secondary CSC detects frame synchronization failures. These switchovers are rate-limited to once every 10 minutes.

A card can cause only one switchover. The inability of the card to detect frame synchronizations from the primary clock is a catastrophic failure that makes it inoperable on the fabric. The condition will usually manifest itself as a CRC error in the FIA, resulting in transfer errors over the fabric.

Recommended Action    Run diagnostics on the specified card and the original primary CSC if possible. If fabric errors persist, remove the CSC, copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message  

%MBUS-2-CLKSTATUS : Slot [dec] [chars]

Explanation    The slot clock has changed its redundancy state. If the card has lost its redundancy state, it can still operate with the other clock. This problem may be localized to the line card or may be a global event caused by a malfunctioning CSC card. In the latter case, all line cards will show this condition.

Recommended Action    Verify that the other clock is correctly using the show controller clock command.

Error Message  

%MBUS-2-CLKSYNC : [chars] could not lock to [chars]. Clocks could not be configured as redundant

Explanation    An attempt to lock the fabric clocks has failed. A hardware failure has occurred. This message indicates that clock or scheduler redundancy cannot be achieved in this configuration. If this failure occurs during the boot process, the system primary clock will be chosen by a majority rule; that is, the primary clock will be the clock to which the majority of the cards are synchronized. If this failure occurs during an OIR event, the initial primary clock will be maintained. Cards that do not synchronize to the selected primary clock will not operate over the fabric. Use the show controller clock command to check the clock configuration for the individual cards.

Recommended Action    Replace or reinsert the CSCs and try again. If the condition persists, copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message  

%MBUS-3-CSCCLK : Fab CLOCK FPGA in Slot [dec] did not see all Fabric Clocks. FAB_CLK_FPGA_fabClkSts Register = [hex] If bit 0 of the register is set implies clk_0 is bad if bit 1 of the register is set implies clk_1 is bad Fabric Clocks could not be configured as redundant.

Explanation    There are two CSCs in the system, but they cannot synchronize with each other. They are therefore configured as nonredundant.

Recommended Action    Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message  

%MBUS-3-CSC_ONLY : Slot [dec] can only have CSC cards

Explanation    Slots 16 and 17 can contain only CSCs.

Recommended Action    Remove any card that is not a CSC from the specified slot. If you are sure it is a CSC card, verify that the EEPROM is programmed correctly. To read the EEPROM contents, use the show diags details command and report the output to your Cisco technical support representative.

Error Message  

%MBUS-6-CSC_OVER_BKPL : [chars] overriding backplane nvram chassis type [chars]

Explanation    The CSC represents a different chassis type from what is programmed into the chassis backplane NVRAM.

Recommended Action    Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message  

%MBUS-6-DISCOVERED_CARDS : [dec] [chars] present in [hex] (bitmask)

Explanation    This message reports the list of discovered cards.

Recommended Action    No action is required.

Error Message  

%MBUS-2-DNLDFAIL : [chars] download to slot [dec]

Explanation    The specified image could not be downloaded to the card. The card will be automatically reset and the download retried.

Recommended Action    Try resetting, power-cycling, or reinserting the card. If the condition persists, copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message  

%MBUS-0-DOWNREV : [chars] [dec] [chars]

Explanation    The specified module is of a downlevel version. This fabric downloader, MBUS Agent RAM or another component could be the cause of this condition. The error message text specifies more information regarding this condition.

Recommended Action    Ensure that the fabric downloader or the other version specified in the error message text is synchronized with the one from the current Cisco IOS software release that is running on the primary GRP. Enter the upgrade all slot-number command, with slot-number being the slot number of the line card, to synchronize the version of the MBUS agent RAM, the fabric downloader, and other components on the line card. A system reload will correct this condition most of the time. However, in some rare circumstances, a power cycle is required to recover the line card. Ensure that enough route memory is present on the line card to support your Cisco IOS software release. More information is available at "Upgrading Line Card Firmware on a Cisco 12000 Series Router" at the URL http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/63/17.html.

Error Message 

%MBUS-3-EEPROM : Failed read EEPROM location [hex] in slot [dec] [chars]

Explanation    An attempt to read the EEPROM contents in the specified slot has failed. The line card is most likely not recognized.

Recommended Action    Ensure that the line card is supported in your current Cisco IOS software release. Attempt to reseat the line card. If the EEPROM is still not recognized, the upgrade all slot-number command, with slot-number being the slot number of the line card, to synchronize the version of the MBUS agent RAM, the fabric downloader, and other components on the line card. You might also reload or power cycle the router to try to recover the line card. If the problem still occurs, copy the error message text exactly as they appear on the console or in the system log, enter the show tech-support command, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message 

%MBUS-6-FABCONFIG : Switch Cards [hex] (bitmask) Primary Clock is [chars] Fabric Clock is [chars] Bandwidth Mode : [chars]

Explanation    The Switching fabric (both SFC and CSC) is configured as specified in the error message text. The primary clock is either a CSC0 (slot 16) or CSC1 (slot17). The fabric clock might be redundant if a second Clock Scheduler Card is present. The bandwidth mode might be full if at least 4 SFCs or CSCs are used. More information on this messages can be found at "Cisco 12000 Series Internet Router: Switch Fabric" at the URL http://www.cisco.com/warp/public/63/arch_12000_switchfabric.html#1.-Redundancy and Bandwidth.

Recommended Action    This is an informational message only. No action is required.

Error Message 

%MBUS-0-FAB_FAILURE : Unrecoverable fabric error detected on switch card [int]

Explanation    Errors have been detected by the line card or RP from the specified switch card. However, because of the lack of redundancy in the fabric, this card cannot be removed.

Recommended Action    Replace this switch card. Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message

If the condition persists, copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message  

%MBUS-6-FIA_CONFIG : Switch Cards [hex] (bit mask); Primary Clock [chars]

Explanation    The FIA was configured as specified in this message.

Recommended Action    No action is required.

Error Message  

%MBUS-6-FIA_STATE : [chars]

Explanation    The FIA has been halted.

Recommended Action    No action is required.

Error Message  

%MBUS-2-FIRMWARE : RAM version download to slot [dec] failed

Explanation    The RAM version of the MBus agent firmware could not be downloaded to specified slot. This message may be caused by either a software or a hardware bug.

Recommended Action    Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message  

%MBUS-3-GETMSGFAIL : Failed getting process message from MBUS device [int] -- [chars]

Explanation    An MBus message and an error message were sent back. An internal software error has occurred.

Recommended Action    Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message  

%MBUS-0-GRP_NO_FRAMESYNC :

Explanation    The GRP has not seen the frame synchronizations within the required intervals. The GRP must see frame synchronizations every 1.04 milliseconds.

Recommended Action    Power-cycle the Internet router. If condition persists, copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message  

%MBUS-6-GRP_STATUS : [chars] [dec] [chars]

Explanation    This message provides GRP master or slave status information.

Recommended Action    No action is required.

Error Message  

%MBUS-3-INSUFF_BW : Insufficient fabric bandwidth to launch and operate card in slot [dec]

Explanation    Some line cards (for example, 4 Port E.D. Packet over SONET OC-12c/STM-4 and 1 Port E.D. Packet over SONET OC-48c/STM-16) cannot operate in quarter-bandwidth mode. Full fabric bandwidth must be available to launch and operate these line cards. Full fabric bandwidth is typically achieved by either one CSC and three SFCs, or two CSCs and two SFCs. To obtain fully redundant, full-fabric bandwidth, you must use a configuration of two CSCs and three SFCs. In any case a minimum of one CSC and three or more additional switch cards (CSC or SFC) are required for full-fabric bandwidth.

Recommended Action    Make sure the CSCs and SFCs are properly inserted and in good working condition. Ensure that there is a total of four working switch cards and that at least one switch card is a CSC. If any switch card is missing or nonoperational, contact your Cisco technical support representative.

Error Message  

%MBUS-3-IOSCRASH : Slot [dec]

Explanation    The ROM monitor reports that the Cisco IOS software on the line card has crashed.

Recommended Action    The line card is automatically reset by the GRP. If the problem persists, try reinserting the line card. If this error message recurs, run diagnostics on the line card.

Error Message  

%MBUS-2-LAUNCHERR : [chars] for Slot [dec] status [hex]

Explanation    The specified module could not be successfully launched.

Recommended Action    Reset the line card. If the condition persists, copy the error message exactly as it appears, along with previous error messages and report it to your Cisco technical support representative.

Error Message  

%MBUS-3-MISMATCHED_FABCONF : Master GRP Fabric Config: Switch Cards [hex] Master Clock [hex] Line Card [dec] Fabric Config: Switch Cards [hex] Master Clock [hex]

Explanation    The fabric configurations for the cards are assigned by the master GRP. The configurations may be temporarily different during reconfiguration of fabric (such as the insertion, removal, or malfunction of switch cards) because the GRP has changed its configuration but has not yet notified the line card. The line card may modify its FIA configuration without changing its bandwidth mode. In addition, it is permissible for the line card to have a different primary clock if there are two CSCs that are configured as redundant.

Recommended Action    No action is required.

Error Message  

%MBUS-6-MODEL_INVALID : Chassis Model invalid [dec] (CSC types([hex],[hex]) invalid for overide)

Explanation    The model type programmed into the backplane NVRAM was invalid. The CSCs in the chassis also contained invalid model types.

Recommended Action    Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message  

%MBUS-3-MSGTOOBIG : MBUS message length too big (dev=[int],type=[int],len=[int])

Explanation    An MBus message received exceeds the maximum size of 254 bytes. This error indicates a software defect.

Recommended Action    Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message  

%MBUS-0-NOCARDS : No Cards detected in slots 1 - [dec]

Explanation    No cards were detected. At least the GRP must be discovered by the MBus.

Recommended Action    Power-cycle the Internet router and retry. If this message recurs, copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message  

%MBUS-0-NOCSC : [chars]

Explanation    At least one CSC must be present in the system.

Recommended Action    If necessary, insert a CSC in slot 16 or 17 and reboot the system. If this message recurs, copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message  

%MBUS-0-NOFABCARD : There must at least be a CSC card in slot 16 or 17.

Explanation    No fabric card was detected in the system.

Recommended Action    If necessary, insert a CSC in slot 16 or 17 and reboot the system. If this message recurs, copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message  

%MBUS-3-NOFABCLK : Slot [dec] does not see any fabric clock
Card will not operate on fabric

Explanation    The slot must see the fabric clock from at least one of the CSCs.

Recommended Action    Reset, power-cycle, or reinsert the card. If the error persists, copy the error message exactly as it appears, along with previous error messages. and report it to your Cisco technical support representative.

Error Message  

%MBUS-0-NOIMAGE : [chars]

Explanation    The image was missing in the bundle linked with this Cisco IOS image. The image is required for downloading. A missing image usually signifies a build problem.

Recommended Action    Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message  

%MBUS-3-NOPROCESS : Failed creating User LED Process

Explanation    The call to create a user LED process failed when creating the process used to handle the timers for the user commands to write to the LEDs. The only effect of this failure is that the user commands to write LED messages will not work, but there may be more serious problems if the Cisco IOS software is having trouble creating processes during initialization.

Recommended Action    Reboot the router. If the condition persists but is confined to this process, ignore the problem and continue.

Error Message  

%MBUS-2-NORESPONSE : From [chars] agent. [chars]

Explanation    The interface to the MBus agent firmware is no longer responding. An internal software error has occurred.

Recommended Action    Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Explanation    An attempt to read the register in the specified slot has failed.

Recommended Action    Check other error messages that follow.

Error Message  

%MBUS-5-REBOOT : [chars] [dec] [chars]

Explanation    The line card is being reset because it was not downloaded or configured by this GRP. The GRP must be able to synchronize with the line card state in order to prevent a reset of the entire chassis on every boot of the GRP. This condition will also occur when the GRP is booted with a newer (potentially incompatible) version of Cisco IOS software. The line card will be reset and a compatible image downloaded.

Recommended Action    Avoid a reboot of the GRP when the line cards are configured and running.

Error Message  

%MBUS-3-REGISTER : Status change from unknown register [hex] in slot [dec] Value = [hex]

Explanation    A register that was not being monitored has indicated a status change. This is probably a software error.

Recommended Action    If the condition persists, copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message  

%MBUS-0-REGISTRY : Failed to create registry [chars] [chars]

Explanation    The specified registry could not be created. This is a catastrophic error for this feature. This condition requires the intervention of a Cisco software developer for a solution.

Recommended Action    Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message  

%MBUS-3-SC_REMOVED : Switch card [int] being removed from fabric configuration.

Explanation    Errors have been detected by the line card or the RP from the switch card specified in this log message. This card has been removed from the fabric configuration and has been powered down.

Recommended Action    Remove or replace this clock switch card and contact your Cisco technical support representative.

Recommended Action    Power-cycle the Internet router and retry.

Error Message  

%MBUS-3-SFC_ONLY : Slot [dec] can only have SFC cards

Explanation    Slots 18 through 20 can contain only SFCs.

Recommended Action    Remove cards that are not SFCs from the specified slot. If you are sure it is an SFC, verify that the EEPROM is programmed correctly. Use the show diags details command to read the EEPROM contents and report it to your Cisco technical support representative.

Error Message  

%MBUS-3-SFLOCK : CSC in Slot [dec] failed to phase lock CSC_FPGA_MCLK = [hex] bit 5 of the register is set Fabric Clocks could not be configured as redundant

Explanation    The specified CSC was to be designated as the secondary clock, but it failed to phase-lock with the primary clock. The primary and secondary clocks are therefore not configured in the redundant mode.

Recommended Action    Copy the error message exactly as it appears, along with previous error messages, and report it to your Cisco technical support representative.

Error Message  

%MBUS-6-STATECHANGE : New state is '[chars]'

Explanation    The dial shelf interface changed state with respect to MBus control and became either a master or a slave. In a dial shelf with just one DSI, it must always be a master.

Recommended Action    This message is informational only. No action is required.

Error Message  

%MBUS-6-SWITCHED_FABCLK : Slot [dec] switched to [chars]

Explanation    The selected clock has changed state on the card. If the slot was configured with a redundant clock, then this is the new clock for this card. It should continue functioning in nonredundant mode. If the redundancy mode is maintained, the clock should not switch (unless there is an external user specification or command forcing it to do so).

Recommended Action    No action is required.

Error Message  

%MBUS-3-TIMEOUT : Timed out waiting for MBUS response from device [int] -- [chars]

Explanation    An MBus message that was sent has timed out while waiting for a response. This error could be caused by possible hardware or software problems. Some of the hardware that could cause this problem are the MBus module on RP, the slot it was sending the message to, and the GRP.

Recommended Action    If the message is infrequent, no action is necessary. If the problem always is associated with a single slot or MBus device, Cisco recommends that you replace the MBus module or the whole FRU (such as the line card or power supply). If the problem is associated with many different slots or MBus devices, it is recommended that you replace the RP MBus module or the whole GRP. If replacing hardware does not solve the problem, or if the problem is persistent or involves frequent timeouts, copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message  

%MBUS-3-UNKNOWN_REGISTER : Status change message for register [hex] in slot [dec], value = [hex]

Explanation    The MBus agent for the specified slot has reported a status change for a register that is no longer being monitored.

Recommended Action    Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message  

%MBUS-6-UNUSED_SFC : In slot [dec]

Explanation    The set bandwidth mode does not require the specified SFC. The switch fabric card will be ignored for the configuration. Removing the SFC will not alter the system performance.

Recommended Action    Ensure that the bandwidth mode of the fabric is the expected bandwidth.

Error Message  

%MBUS-3-WAKEUP : Could not set wake up reason (pid=[int]) -- [chars]

Explanation    The process wakeup reason was changed while sending an MBus message and waiting for a response. An error has occurred in getting the current wakeup reason for the process. This problem was caused by an error in the scheduler or some other software bug in the MBus code.

Recommended Action    Report this problem to a Cisco technical support representative, providing the exact error message text in addition to the traceback that accompanies it. If the problem recurs frequently, reload the router.

MBUS_SYS Messages

The following are maintenance bus (Mbus) system error messages.

Error Message  

%MBUS_SYS-3-ENQUEUE : Failed to queue message from slot [dec] stream [dec]

Explanation    An attempt to queue a message from the interrupt for process-level software has failed. The message will be dropped. The dropped message indicates a potential problem in the MBus process-level message handling. This error can occur if there are problems with the MBus process specifically or with Cisco IOS process-related issues generally. This error may also happen if the MBus process is not scheduled for extended periods of time and there is heavy MBus traffic.

Recommended Action    If this is a persistent problem, either the MBus process is dead or there are other Cisco IOS-related problems. Consider rebooting the GRP if possible.

Error Message  

%MBUS_SYS-3-MAXSIZE : Message from slot [dec] stream [dec] of length [dec] > max message size [dec]

Explanation    A message from a slot has exceeded the maximum message size of 254 bytes and therefore will be dropped. This error should not happen during normal operation.

Recommended Action    To verify the functionality of MBus, use the show mbus counters and the show mbus can-error commands. If any particular card shows errors and this condition persists, try reloading the card if possible. The error counts in the show mbus command can be cleared using the clear mbus-statistics command.

Error Message  

%MBUS_SYS-3-MSGINVCHN : MBUS invalid channel selected (dev=[int],type=[int],channel=[dec],len=[int])

Explanation    The software tried to send a message on an invalid MBus channel.

Recommended Action    Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message 

%MBUS_SYS-3-MSGTOOBIG : MBUS message length too big (dev=[int],type=[int],len=[int])

Explanation    The software tried to send a message with a length greater than the maximum message size of 254.

Recommended Action    Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message  

%MBUS_SYS-3-NOBUFFER : Message from slot [dec] in stream [dec] dropped

Explanation    A message from the slot was dropped because there were no MBus buffers available. Either the messages are coming too fast or the process-level message handling is not processing the messages quickly enough.

Recommended Action    This condition should correct itself. Check to see if the GRP is being inundated by messages from the chassis. If the condition persists, consider rebooting the GRP.

Error Message  

%MBUS_SYS-3-NOCHANNEL : Failed to allocate MBUS channel for over 10 secs

Explanation    No MBus channel could be allocated for sending messages. Either there is very heavy MBus traffic or there is a hardware problem. If traffic is temporarily heavy, the condition will clear itself. In case of hardware errors, either the MBus agent has failed or the hardware interface to the mailbox is not processing the messages. Resetting the processor, including the agent, may clear the problem. If the problem persists, the card probably has hardware problems and needs diagnosis.

Recommended Action    Power-cycle the card. If the problem persists, the card may be defective and should be replaced.

Error Message  

%MBUS_SYS-3-REASSEMBLY : Error slot [dec], stream [dec] [chars]

Explanation    A reassembly error was detected for the given slot and stream combination. Either the slot-and-stream combination was incorrect (so it gave an invalid reassembly buffer index) or the first and last (or last few) packets were lost. The message will be dropped and may cause errors for the application running over the MBus.

Recommended Action    This condition should correct itself. No action is required.

Error Message  

%MBUS_SYS-0-REGISTRY : Failed to create registry [chars]
[chars]

Explanation    The specified registry could not be created. The inability to create the registry is a catastrophic error for this feature. This condition requires the intervention of a Cisco software developer for a solution.

Recommended Action    Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message 

%MBUS_SYS-3-SEQUENCE : Sequencing error (slot [dec], stream [dec]): expected [dec], received [dec]

Explanation    An incorrect sequence number was detected in a multi-packet message. This error could occur if one or more packets were dropped or the source packetized the message incorrectly.

Recommended Action    Check to see if there is excessive MBus activity, such as copious printing from a line card. To determine the lost message count, use the show mbus counters command.

Error Message  

%MBUS_SYS-3-TIMEOUT : Timeout on mbus request. Dest = [int], type = [int], addr = [hex]

Explanation    No response was received from an MBus request. This request was for either an EEPROM field or a register read.

Recommended Action    Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message  

%MBUS_SYS-3-TXERR : Failed to transmit MBUS message for over 10 secs

Explanation    Message could not be transmitted because all the transmit buffers have been full for more than 10 seconds. This may be a temporary problem if there is heavy MBus traffic. Otherwise, the error probably indicates a hardware problem. Either the MBus agent is not responding or the hardware interface is not generating interrupts.

Recommended Action    If this is a persistent problem, power-cycle the card. If the problem still continues, it is likely to be a hardware problem that requires diagnosis.

Error Message  

%MBUS_SYS-3-UNEXPECTED : Unexpected response key = [int], current key = [int]

Explanation    An unexpected response to a read register or to a read EEPROM was received.

Recommended Action    Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

MC3810_DSX1 Messages

The following are MC3810 DSX1 subsystem error messages.

Error Message  

%MC3810_DSX1-3-ERROR : [chars]

Explanation    An internal software error has occurred.

Recommended Action    Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message

MCAST Messages

The following are Layer 2 multicast error messages.

Error Message  

%MCAST-6-GC_LIMIT_EXCEEDED : IGMP snooping was trying to allocate more Layer 2 entries than what allowed ([dec])

Explanation    The allocation of Layer 2 entries has been limited in order to conserve system resources.

Recommended Action    To set the limit of Layer 2 entries, enter the ip igmp snooping l2-entry-limit configuration command. Increasing the value of the max-entries argument could cause a reload by increasing the use of system resources.

Error Message  

%MCAST-6-IGMP_CGMP_MODE : IGMP snooping now is running in IGMP_CGMP mode on vlan [dec]

Explanation    IGMP snooping has detected a switch or a router that uses the CGMP protocol. As a result, IGMP is now running in IGMP_CGMP mode so that other devices that use CGMP protocol can function.

Recommended Action    No action is required.
