CI Messages

The following are Cisco 7500 platform chassis interface (CI) messages.

Error Message    

%CI-3-ASPMEM : C6400 equipped with [chars] requires at least [dec] MB of RAM Only [dec] MB of RAM installed

Explanation    The type of feature card installed requires more RAM than is currently installed in the system.

Recommended Action    Install the required amount of RAM in the system.

Error Message    

%CI-5-ASPREV : ***WARNING*** Hot swapping the ASP will cause hardware damage. \n

Explanation    This warning message appears during a Cisco LS1010 or Cisco C5x00 startup. The ASP is not hot-swappable on the Cisco LS1010 even though it is hot-swappable on the C5x00 platforms. Removing an ASP from a Cisco LS1010 while the system is operating causes the system to shut down and might cause hardware damage to the ASP. If this warning appears on a C5x00 platform, it indicates that the ASP is not hot-swappable.

Recommended Action    Heed the warning. Do not remove a non-hot-swappable ASP while the power is on.

Error Message     

%CI-3-ASPREVC5500 : ***WARNING*** Cannot determine Power Supply type/detect Power Supply fan alarm \n

Explanation    This warning message appears during C5x00 startup. The revision of the ASP installed in the router is unable to provide information about the power supply type and fan status.

Recommended Action    If this condition is a cause for concern, 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 software issues using the Bug Toolkit at http://www.cisco.com/pcgi-bin/Support/Bugtool/launch_bugtool.pl. 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 technical support representative and provide the representative with the information you have gathered. 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.

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

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.

Step 3 Read the Explanation and Recommended Action for the specific message for additional information about the error.


Note The number in the CIP error message (the x in%CIP-x-MSG) denotes the slot of the CIP adapter in the RSP chassis.

Explanation    An internal error has occurred in the maintenance of IS-IS link-state packet linkages.

Recommended Action    Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log. Issue the show tech-support command to gather data that might help identify the nature of the error. If you cannot determine the nature of the error from the error message text or from the show tech-support command output, contact your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.

Error Message    

%CLNS-4-LSPCKSUM : [chars]: Bad L[dec] LSP [chars] checksum [hex] received on [chars], length [dec], should be [hex], bad count [dec]

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 neighboring router.

Recommended Action    If the error is in the memory of a neighboring router, the problem will correct itself within 15 minutes. That router will detect its internal error and regenerate the corrupted data. This case is usually indicated by the repeated occurrance of a single link-state packet ID in these messages. The same link-state packet ID might appear in this message on other routers as well. If data-link corruption has caused the error, check the link for errors and deal with them appropriately. This case is usually indicated by the appearance of a number of different link-state packet IDs in these messages.

Error Message     

%CONFIG-3-STATEINIT : Too many state change notification routines

Explanation    During initialization, each application that uses the virtual port adapter registers to receive notification when the shutdown or no shutdown commands are issued on that adapter. The table to hold these registration requests is too small. This is a fatal error. The CIP has been restarted.

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    

%CONFIG-3-TOOBIG : Configuration comand ([dec]) is too large ([dec]) to process

Recommended Action    Configure fewer devices.

Error Message     

%CONFIG-3-UNEXPCFG : Configuration command code [dec] is not supported

Explanation    Configuration command processing is dynamically set up when features are added to an image. The feature required to process a configuration command is not a part of the current image.

Recommended Action    Either run a CIP microcode load that supports the configuration command being issued or do not issue that configuration command.

Error Message    

%CONFIG-3-WORKLEFT : Work pending on work queue when device terminated

Explanation    The CIP unconfigured a device and found that there were still messages left in its work queues. This is an internal logic error.

Recommended Action    If this message occurs repeatedly or if it is reproducible, copy the error message exactly as it appears, issue the show extended channel and the show tech-support commands, to gather data that might help identify the nature of the error. If you cannot determine the nature of the error from the error message text or from the show extended channel and show tech-support command output, contact your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
