CIP and CIP2 Messages
The Channel Interface Processor (CIP) messages have the same initial message string and cannot be found in the same way as other Cisco IOS software System Messages. Perform the following steps to find the Explanation and Recommended Action for the CIP messages.
Step 1
Find the second part of the message that immediately follows the CIP message. This message is inline with the CIP message and is preceded by a percent (%) sign.
For example, the message on the console or in the system log is:
%CIP2-4-MSG: slot5 %OFFL-4-BADDESC: Socket descriptor
You would make a note of the message %OFFL-4-BADDESC.
If the message is:%CIP2-3-MSG: slot3 %MEMD-3-FRAME_DATA2, you would make a note of the message %MEMD-3-FRAME_DATA2.
As with other system messages, these secondary CIP messages are listed in this manual by the mnemonic.
Step 2
Find the message mnemonic. For the examples in Step 1, you would find OFFL and andMEMD, respectively.

Explanation A link-state packet was received for the IS-IS, which failed an internal data checksum,
but which passed the data link checksum. The interface on which the link-state packet was received
is specified in the error message, along with the total count of checksum errors received, the
link-state packet ID, and the level of the failing link-state packet. This message usually indicates
data corruption occurring on a link, but might also indicate data corruption in the memory of a
