%VINES-2-CONSISTENCY
: Error [chars]
Explanation An error involving the Banyan VINES code has occurred. This error message will
provide additional information to identify one of two possible causes:
–
An IPC port number needs to be allocated, but all 65,535 port numbers are currently in use.
–
VINES has attempted to add a cache entry, but no path is associated with the destination address.
This problem may cause temporary slow performance to the stations that have experienced this inconsistency until complete cache entries are added. However, connectivity should not be lost, because all data traffic can still be routed via process-level switching.
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. If the warning message is about IPC port number depletion, use the show
vines ipc command to check how many IPC ports are currently in use by which services and
determine whether the IPC connections are all legitimate. To release IPC ports, issue the clear vines
ipc command. If the warning message is about VINES cache entries, provide the contents of the
VINES route cache, neighbor, and route tables immediately after the messages appeared. If the
problem persists, issue the clear vines cache command, and monitor the router if the situation
improves.

log, contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the
gathered information. If possible, clear the VINES routing table or neighbor table in which the
corrupted entry was observed. Clearing the routing or neighbor table will result in a temporary loss
of connectivity until the table is rebuilt.
Error Message
%VINES-2-DUPADDR
: Duplicate address detected on interface [chars]
Explanation The router has detected that its Banyan VINES address is being used by another router.
Recommended Action To identify the other router that is using this address, manually inspect each the
configuration of each router. When you have identified the router with the duplicate address, issue
the vines routing command on both routers or issue the enable vines routing command, specifying
specify a unique address. If one of the routers does not support the recompute keyword, disable
VINES on that router, issue the write terminal command to save the configuration to memory,
reboot the router, and then enter the vines routing command with a unique VINES address on the
affected routers until each router has a unique address.
Error Message
%VINES-2-ENCAPFAILED
: Encapsulation failed for [v-name] via [v-name] on [chars]
Explanation Banyan VINES fast switching has encountered an encapsulation failure when building
a cache entry for a neighbor.
Recommended Action Examine your configuration for causes of the encapsulation failure. Look for
missing map statements, interfaces that have gone down, and so on. If this error results in lost
connectivity, disable VINES fast switching by issuing the no vines route-cache command. Because
disabling fast switching will slow network perform, you should issue the vines route-cache
command to reenable fast switching as soon as you have identified the cause of the problem. If you
cannot identify the cause, contact your Cisco technical support representative. Provide the output of
the show vines cache, show vines neighbor, and show vines route commands for the destination
address and neighboring routers you are using. Also provide the output of the show interface and
show vines interface commands for the incoming and outgoing interfaces.
