MBUF Messages
The following are CMCC memory buffer messages.
Error Message
%MBUF-0-MFREEx2
: mfree: mbuf [hex] already free'ed from pc=[hex] ra=[hex]
@(pc=[hex]ra=[hex])
Explanation A request was made to free a memory buffer that was already free.
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
%MBUF-0-PANIC
: panic[[chars]@[dec]] in [chars]: [chars]
Explanation An unexpected internal error has occurred in the TCP/IP stack.
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.
MBUS Messages
The following are CMCC maintenance bus (MBus) messages.
Error Message
%MBUS-3-BADCLK
: Slot [dec] does not see fabric clock from [chars]\n 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

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

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.

%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

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 =

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

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 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
