: [IP_address][IP_netmask] [chars] [chars]->[chars][chars]
Explanation The ATM tag control facility uses a table-driven state machine to keep track and
transition a TVC through various states. A state transition occurs when a TVC receives one of many
possible events. This message has been received because a TVC has received an event that it did not
expect while in this state. The system can continue to operate, but may lose the TVC that generated
this message.

%TCATM-4-INTERFACE
: Request bind interface [chars] same as output interface for
[IP_address][IP_netmask]
Explanation The incoming interface of a request bind PIE is the same as the next-hop interface for
the prefix. This condition may be caused by a transient routing loop during a routing protocol
convergence operation, or a permanent routing loop due to a misconfiguration. As a side effect, the
tag VC requests at the upstream neighbor will remain in a "BindWait" state until the situation clears
up.
Recommended Action If the situation persists, check the configuration and network paths for the
relevant prefix. If you still require assistance, open a case with the Technical Assistance Center via
the Internet at http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/front.x/case_tools/caseOpen.pl, or contact your Cisco

support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message
%VSAT-3-BADCONFIG
: Initial configuration parameter not accepted on [chars]
Explanation The satellite module did not accept a configuration parameter. This is usually because
the version of the internal software on the module is not compatible with the Cisco IOS software
running on the router. This error might also indicate a problem with internal software coding.
Recommended Action Verify that the satellite module firmware and the Cisco IOS software are
compatible and up to date. Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the
system log. Research and attempt to resolve the error using the Output Interpreter
https://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/OutputInterpreter/home.pl. Also perform a search of the

support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message
%VSAT-6-HSRP_STANDBY
: [chars] module set to [chars] state due to an HSRP event
Explanation The satellite standby state was changed due to an HSRP status change on the monitored
IP redundancy group. This is for information only and is not an error. When VSATs are connected
in a Y cable formation for configuration as part of an HSRP IP redundancy group, one module must
be set as active, and the others as standby. To avoid transmit interference, the non-active satellite
modules are set to standby mode. Standby mode ceases all inbound activity on the satellite link and
puts the module in an inactive state.
Recommended Action No action is required.
Error Message
%VSAT-1-INITFAIL
: NM slot [dec]: Device [dec] initialization failed
Explanation The initialization of the Satellite network module has failed.
Recommended Action Power down, reseat the interface card, and reboot the system. If this message
recurs, copy the message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log. Research and
attempt to resolve the issue using the tools and utilities provided at http://www.cisco.com/tac. With
some messages, these tools and utilities will supply clarifying information. Search for resolved

Attach the following information to your case in nonzipped, plain-text (.txt) format: the output of
the show logging and show tech-support commands and your pertinent troubleshooting logs.
Error Message
%VSAT-6-PIMINCOMPADDR
: The IP address configured on [chars] requires a manually
configured IP address for the satellite module
Explanation This message is informational and a reminder that further configuration may be
required. For the satellite service module to automatically configure its own IP address, the value
of the IP address on the satellite interface must yield a remainder of 2 when divided by 4. The value
entered requires "service-module ip address" to be entered manually. Automatic configuration
assures that PIM and other features work correctly. Manual configuration must be done carefully to
activate all features. For example, for PIM to work properly, the IP addresses and masks between
the satellite interface and the satellite service module interface must be specifically defined. The
interface must be configured with a large subnet that includes all the VSATs in the satellite network.
The service module must be configured with a /30 subnet. To the service module, all VSATs are on
separate subnets so it does routing between the VSATs as its software requires. The router sees all
VSATs as on the same subnet, so the VSATs can establish PIM neighbors. The service module
needs to be a lower IP address than the router so that IGMP works properly. Hence the requirement
that the IP address on the router be the higher of the two host addresses available on the /30 network.
Recommended Action Configure the "service-module ip address" to complete the manually
configured IP address on the satellite module.
Error Message
%VSAT-5-RESTORE_IP
: [chars] "service-module ip address" restored
Explanation The service-module IP address has been restored because the interface IP address
changed. The new interface IP address is now on the same subnet as the previous address, so the
compatible service-module IP address has been restored from the internal copy that was saved
previously.
Recommended Action No action is required.
Error Message
%VSAT-5-STANDBY_MODE
: [chars] module configured for standby mode
Explanation The satellite module is configured to boot up in standby mode. This will keep the
module inactive unless it is activated by an HSRP IP redundancy group change. This condition is
normal during operation of satellite modules configured as part of an HSRP IP redundancy group,
and serves as a reminder that the module will be inactive until an HSRP change occurs.
Recommended Action If standby HSRP operation is not desired, removing the HSRP IP redundancy
group configuration will clear the condition.
Error Message
%VSAT-5-UNCONFIGURE_IP
: [chars] "service-module ip address" unconfigured
Explanation The service-module IP address has been unconfigured because the interface IP address
changed. The new IP address is not in the same subnet as the previous one, or the interface IP
address has been unconfigured. The service-module IP address is internally saved so that if the IP
address is later changed back to the same subnet, the service-module IP address is automatically
restored.
Recommended Action No action is required.
VSI_M Messages
The following are Virtual Switch Interface (VSI) master messages.
Error Message
%VSI_M-6-ABOVEWATERMARK
: VSI Master input queue goes above high water mark
Explanation The VSI master queue depth is approaching its high-water mark.

label-control-protocol vsi window-size command.
Error Message
%VSI_M-6-BELOWWATERMARK
