BM Messages
Error Message
%L2-BM-3-ERR_IIR_MEMBERSHIP
Link [chars] in [chars] reported by IIR in bundle
[chars].
Explanation When synchronising with IIR during restart the link was reported to be in a different
bundle from the checkpoint records of the process. This should never happen and is not recoverable.
The information from IIR was discarded and the process is now out of step with IIR, possibly
leading to further problems.
Recommended Action Delete the checkpoint data for the Bundle Manager process that reported the
error (run rm /tmp/chkpt_bundlemgr_distrib*) and restart the process.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_ACTIVATE
Failure during activation of [chars]. Error: [chars]
Explanation A failure occurred during the activation of the process. Activation occurs when the card
transitions to ACTIVE state. This error resulted in the restart of the process.
Recommended Action If the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_ADJ_DLL_INIT
Failure during intialization of [chars]. Error:
[chars]
Explanation A failure occurred during the initialization of the platform independent adjacency
completion DLL. This will result in the hosting process being restarted.
Recommended Action If the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_ADMINSTATE
Unable to [chars] administrative state for [chars] on
[chars]. Error: [chars]
Explanation The operation attempted failed. For a set this may mean that the link is UP when the
bundle is SHUTDOWN. This can be resolved by 'no shut' and then 'shut' of the bundle. For a clear
this may mean that the link remains DOWN when it has been removed from the bundle. This can be
resolved by re-adding and then removing the link from the bundle again.
Recommended Action If the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_COMMS_LINK_UNKNOWN
Received link update response for unknown
interface (ifhandle [hex]). Ignoring response
Explanation An update has been exchanged between the Bundle Manager processes, and a response
has been received for an unknown interface. If the interface has been recently unconfigured as a
bundle member this could explain the error, otherwise it shows some unknown error condition.
Recommended Action If the specified interface handle is expected to be a bundle member still then
restarting all bundle processes should get things back into step. If the error references a recently
unconfigured bundle member, then the message is probably harmless.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_EVM_EVENT_BLOCK
Unrecoverable error in event loop. Error: [chars]
Explanation An error (other than EINTR) occured in the event loop. The process has exited and
restarted.
Recommended Action If the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_GROUP_CREATE
Unable to create GSP group. Error: [chars]
Explanation Creation of the group used to communicate between Bundle Manager processes failed.
This resulted in the restart of the process.
Recommended Action Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system
log. Issue the show gsp groups command to gather data that may provide information to determine
the nature of the error. If you cannot determine the nature of the error from the error message text
or from the show gsp groups output, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide
the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_IDENTICAL
Attempting to order [chars] and [chars] that have
identical port information
Explanation The comparison between an entry in the bundle member list and a new entry to be
inserted showed that both had identical port data. Because of this the new link could not be inserted
into the list and the operation leading to this failed.
Recommended Action Remove and re-add the configuration for the links named in the message. 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.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_IIR_BDL_DATA
Invalid [chars] specified by IIR for CH[hex]: [unsigned
int]
Explanation The data specified in the IIR notification is not one of the recognised values for that
type. The information is invalid and the result is that adjacencies for this bundle cannot be
programmed in hardware.
Recommended Action Delete and recreate the bundle. If the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_IIR_BDL_HANDLE
--
Explanation --
Recommended Action If this event can be associated with changes to a particular bundle then delete
and recreate the bundle. If the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_IIR_MBR_DATA
Invalid [chars] specified by IIR for CH[hex] member
CH[hex]: [unsigned int]
Explanation The data specified in the IIR notification is not one of the recognised values for the type.
The information is invalid and will be ignored.
Recommended Action Delete and recreate the bundle. If the message recurs, 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.

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.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_IIR_OP
Unable to report IIR op failure for b_ifh [hex], m_ifh [hex]
(op [chars], state [chars]). Error: [chars]
Explanation An error occurred processing the IIR event and the bundle EA process was unable to
report this error back to IIR. This may lead to some inconsistency with the bundle membership in
the data plane not matching what is intended according to the control plane.
Recommended Action The failure to report the error back to IIR suggests a problem in the connection
to IIR. This may have been a transient problem, but restarting ifmgr and/or the bundlemgr_ea
process on the location of the error might be necessary. The error that should have been reported
also needs to be dealt with. This error may have come from some lower layer platform component,
possibly a resource allocation error. If the error code provides some information as to the failure
then take action appropriate to the error. If the error code is not specific then take action according
to whether the event was a link activation or a link deactivation/deletion. For activation problems
unconfigure and reconfigure the member link - if this fails try restarting the bundlemgr_ea process
after unconfiguring the member link. For deactivation/deletion failures try restarting the improxy
process to trigger a complete resync by the bundlemgr EA.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_IIR_SUB_HANDLE

to have no attached members.
Explanation This process believes that there are no aggregatable links, but this link is marked as
attached. This error is most likely caused by failing to attach or detach a link correctly.
Recommended Action If the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_MEM_ALLOC
Unable to allocate [unsigned int] bytes of memory.
Explanation Memory allocation failed.
Recommended Action Reduce other system activity to ease memory demands. If conditions warrant,
upgrade to a larger memory configuration.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_MIB_CLEANUP
Failure during cleanup of [chars] in the dot3ad MIB DLL.
Error: [chars]
Explanation A failure occurred during the cleanup of the DLL. This may result in the DLL not being
completely cleaned up, possibly causing errors in a subsequent re-initialization of the DLL.
Recommended Action Restart the snmp process reporting the error. If the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_MIB_INIT
Failure during intialization of [chars] in the dot3ad MIB
DLL. Error: [chars]
Explanation A failure occurred during the initialization of the DLL. This resulted in the DLL not
being loaded into the SNMP agent, and thus the MIB services will not be available.
Recommended Action Restart the snmp process reporting the error. If the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_MOVING_LINK
Unable to modify bundle id on link [chars] to [unsigned
int]: [chars]. Process exiting to recover
Explanation An error has occurred while attempting to change the bundle id configured on the
indicated interface. The process is restarting to recover from this error.
Recommended Action It is expected that restarting the process will fix this problem. This is done
automatically so no action should be required. If the error indicates a memory issue, try increasing
the memory available on this card.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_MTU_IMPOSE
Imposition of configured MTU failed for [chars], will
continue to use previous value: [unsigned int]
Explanation The MTU imposition was rejected by IM or another client. The bundle will continue to
operate with the previously configured MTU.
Recommended Action Check that the configured MTU is within approrpriate ranges for the interface
type and network layer protocols on the interface. Remove the configuration and reapply.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_NETIO_INIT
Failure [chars] in the bundle NetIO DLL during [chars].
Error: [chars]
Explanation A failure occurred during the initialization of the bundle NetIO DLL. If this occured
during an upgrade operation then it will cause the NetIO process to reload. Otherwise this will cause
the capsulation to be unloaded, and an error returned to the user. One possible reason for the error
is a low memory condition, particularly if the failure was in allocating trace buffers.
Recommended Action If the error message indicates the failure is low memory condition, reduce other
system activity to ease memory demands. If conditions warrant, upgrade to a larger memory
configuration. Otherwise, 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.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_NODE_SET
The replication node set for bundle [chars] was
inconsistent following addition or update of link [chars] (new MID [hex], [hex],
[hex], old MID [hex], [hex], [hex]) - Process has recovered but other processes
may be inconsistent
Explanation Following a link update, the replication info for the indicated bundle had become
inconsistent. This indicates that the process was not notified of a node removal event - the
bundlemgr_distrib process has fixed this inconsistency, though other processes may remain
inconsistent.
Recommended Action If the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_PAKMAN
Unable to handle pakman corruption error: [chars]. Process
exiting
Explanation A packet manager corruption has been reported and the Bundle Manager process has
failed to cleanup to recover from the problem. The process will exit and be automatically restarted
to recover from this situation.
Recommended Action It is expected that restarting the process will fix this problem. This is done
automatically so no action should be required. If the problem recurs, then there is a problem in
packet manager. A drastic solution would be to reload the linecard.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_RECREATE_BUNDLE
Unable to recreate bundle CH[hex]. Error: [chars]
Explanation When recovering the checkpointed data for a bundle, an error occurred and the data is
lost.
Recommended Action Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system
log. Issue the show interface bundle name command to gather data that may provide information to
determine the nature of the error. If you cannot determine the nature of the error from the error
message text or from the show interface bundle name output, call your Cisco technical support
representative and provide the representative with the gathered information. Copy the error message
exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log. Issue the show bundle bundle name
command to gather data that may provide information to determine the nature of the error. If you
cannot determine the nature of the error from the error message text or from the show bundle bundle
name output, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with
the gathered information. Copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the
system log. Issue the show adjacency bundle name detail hardware location loc of error command
to gather data that may provide information to determine the nature of the error. If you cannot
determine the nature of the error from the error message text or from the show adjacency bundle
name detail hardware location loc of error output, call your Cisco technical support representative
and provide the representative with the gathered information. If the bundle appears correctly in the
output of all three commands then no further action is required, otherwise unconfigure and
reconfigure the bundle.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_RECREATE_LINK
Unable to recreate link [chars] in [chars]. Error:
[chars]
Explanation When recovering the checkpointed data for a link, an error occurred and the data is lost.
Recommended Action Identify the bundle in which the link was a member. Copy the error message
exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log. Issue the show interface bundle name
command to gather data that may provide information to determine the nature of the error. If you
cannot determine the nature of the error from the error message text or from the show interface
bundle name output, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative

unconfigure and reconfigure the member.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_REPAIR_BUNDLE
Unable to repair bundle CH[hex] checkpoint
structures. Error: [chars]
Explanation When repairing the checkpoint structures for the bundle database an error occurred for
named bundle and the bundle was not checkpointed. The next time an attempt is made to checkpoint
the bundle it will fail and the checkpoint table will be reconstructed again, perhaps more
successfully.
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.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_REPAIR_DATABASE
Unable to repair [chars] database. Failure during
checkpoint [chars]. Error: [chars]
Explanation When repairing the checkpoint structures for the named database an error occurred in
the database checkpoint registration. As a result the process was intentionally restarted.
Recommended Action If the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_REPAIR_LINK
Unable to repair checkpoint structures for link [chars]
in [chars]. Error: [chars]
Explanation When repairing the checkpoint structures for the link database an error occurred for
named link and the link was not checkpointed. The next time an attempt is made to checkpoint the
link it will fail and the checkpoint table will be reconstructed again, perhaps more successfully.
Recommended Action If the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_REPLICATE
Replication failed for [chars], when adding member
[chars]. Error: [chars]
Explanation When attempting to replicate the bundle to the member interface location, the
replication operation failed. This probably happened because some hardware resource on the LC
where the member is located was exhausted. The record of the member will be removed from the
bundle process on the RP but will still be referenced by the bundle process on the LC.
Recommended Action Determine whether the hardware resources for the LC have been
oversubscribed, e.g. more VLANs on the LC and on the bundle that the LC can support. If this is
the case, reduce the number of allocated VLANs. Then remove the member configuration and
reapply.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_RESTORE_LINK
Unable to restore link [chars] in [chars]. [chars].
Error: [chars]
Explanation When restoring the link an error occurred and to maintain consistency the data was
removed. It is likely, given the error, that the link had been OIR removed.
Recommended Action Verify that the link has not been OIR removed. If it has not, remove the bundle
membership configuration and reapply it. 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.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_RESYNC_EXCEED_IIR
Exceeded the IIR resync limit for [chars]. Process
exiting.
Explanation The maximum number of attempts to resync with IIR have been exceeded for this
bundle. The safest course of action is to restart the process and this has been done.
Recommended Action If the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_RESYNC_SCHED_IIR
Unable to schedule an IIR resync for [chars].
Process exiting.
Explanation An attempt to schedule a resync with IIR has failed for this bundle. The safest course of
action is to restart the process and this has been done.
Recommended Action If the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_RETRY_EXCEED
Exceeded maximum number of retries for [chars]
Explanation After attempting to resend or query information a number of times, the retry limit has
been exceeded and no more attempts will be made. The effect of the message will therefore be lost.
The impact will depend on the message which was lost. If the message refers to a global error then
the process will exit and be restarted.
Recommended Action If the message referred to a global error then check that the process has
restarted successfully. If the message referred to a bundle or bundle member then check that the
object is still configured and still exists. Make a minor change to the settings of the object
experiencing the problem. This will trigger another attempt to send an update. If the message recurs,
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.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_RETRY_EXCEED_GSP
Retry limit for GSP initialization exceeded:
[chars]
Explanation After attempting to create the GSP group used for communications with the Bundle
Manager process on another node a number of times, the retry limit has been exceeded. The cause
of the failure is very likely to be some external communication failure - so check for evidence of
this. The process will exit and be restarted automatically so no futher action is needed for Bundle
Manager to retry.
Recommended Action Check that other processes are not reporting similar communication errors, as
this is likely to be a general communication problem. The Bundle Manager process has exited and
will be restarted, so no action is needed, though unless the communication problem is resolved the
process will still not be able to startup.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_RETRY_EXCEED_IMP
Exceeded the retry limit for IMP events.
Explanation The maximum number of attempts to retry an IMP message has been exceeded. An error
has occurred in the clean up of a bundle, so there may be residual data for the bundle in the linecard
components which could cause subsequent problems. Restart the process that reported the error to
recover.
Recommended Action If the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_RETRY_EXCEED_SYSTEM_MAC
Retry limit for system MAC address query
exceeded: [chars]
Explanation After attempting to query the system MAC address from SDRd a number of times, the
retry limit has been exceeded. The cause of the failure is likely to be an issue with SDRd or Shelfmgr
- so check for evidence of this. The process will exit and be restarted automatically so no futher
action is needed for Bundle Manager to retry.
Recommended Action The Bundle Manager process has exited and will be restarted, so no action is
needed. Check that the board (EEPROM etc.) is correctly programmed since this is the source of the
MAC address information and therefore one possible cause of the problem.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_RETRY_SCHED
Unable to send update for [chars] and unable to schedule
retry: [chars]
Explanation A timeout occurred sending an update to a Bundle Manager process on another node.
Due to a problem with the retry mechanism, a resend of the message could not be scheduled. The
effect of the message will therefore be lost. The impact will depend on the message which was lost.
Recommended Action Make a minor change to the settings of the object experiencing the problem.
This will trigger another attempt to send an update. If the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_SYSMGR
Failure communicating readiness to System Manager. Error:
[chars]
Explanation The process was initialized successfully but was unable to inform System Manager of
the success.
Recommended Action Check on the status of the sysmgr process on the node from which the error was
reported. If the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_SYSTEM_MAC_RESET
Existing system MAC address not found in
allocation. System MAC address for bundles is being reset
Explanation After a resync has occurred between Bundle Manager and the MAC allocation process,
the MAC address assigned for use as the system MAC has not been found in the addresses allocated
to bundle manager. Bundle manager will choose a new MAC address for use for this purpose. A flap
will be seen on bundle links running LACP.
Recommended Action The Bundle Manager process will select a new address automatically, so no
further action is needed to resolve this error.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_TX_HEAP_LOOKUP
Failed to create non-existent entry for interface
CH[hex] while attempting to [chars]: [chars]
Explanation An attempt to create a new database entry for a port failed. In addition to indicating that
the line card is running low on system resources, this suggests that the shared-memory database is
out-of-sync with the main database. Once some system resources have been released, the
bundlemgr_local process should be restarted to retry the timer creation.
Recommended Action Reduce other system activity to ease memory demands. If conditions warrant,
upgrade to a larger memory configuration.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_TX_TIMER
Failed to [chars] periodic timer for interface CH[hex]:
[chars]
Explanation An attempt to create or start a timer for periodic sending failed. Regular LACPDUs will
NOT be sent out. This suggests that the line card is running low on system resources. Once some
system resources have been released, the bundlemgr_local process should be restarted to retry the
timer creation.
Recommended Action Reduce other system activity to ease memory demands. If conditions warrant,
upgrade to a larger memory configuration.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-ERR_UNREPLICATE
Unreplication failed for [chars], when removing member
[chars]. Error: [chars]
Explanation When attempting to unreplicate the bundle from the member interface location, the
unreplication operation failed. Some hardware resources may continue to be used for the bundle on
the location of the member that was removed. It is also possible that there could be a problem
replicating the bundle to that location again if a new member is added.
Recommended Action If the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-BM-4-LRD_RESYNC
Bundle member [chars] is being referenced from a non-existent
node [hex]
Explanation When resyncing with LRd, bundlemgr has unexpectedly found that a bundle member is
on a card that no longer exists. The member will be cleaned up.
Recommended Action If the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-BM-5-CHURN
Interface [chars] in [chars] [chars] on actor system
Explanation Churn has either been detected (due to the failure of a link to synchronize soon enough)
or the churn state has now cleared.
Recommended Action If churn has been declared, check that the configuration for the link allows it
to aggregate, and fix as appropriate. Things to check for are links which are incompatible with each
other, or misconfigurations between the two ends of the link which is reporting churn.
Error Message
%L2-BM-5-ERR_TX_ENQUEUE
Unable to queue LACP packet for ingress processing on
interface CH[hex] (reason: [chars]). Processing will resume with next received
LACP packet.
Explanation An attempt to queue a received packet for processing failed. An occasional message of
this type indicates that bundlemgr_local has temporarily been blocked from processing the queue
leading to this harmless condition.
Recommended Action If this message appears more than once, the bundlemgr_local process should
be restarted to try to recover the situation. An occasional message of this type will be harmless.
Error Message
%L2-BM-6-DISTRIBUTING
[chars] [chars] in Distributing state as part of [chars]%s
Explanation This is an informational message reporting that a link has entered or left Distributing
state as part of a bundle interface. The link configuration may have just been changed or there may
be an operational reason for the event such as a state change or LACP protocol update.
Recommended Action Nothing, this is not an error.
Error Message
%L2-BM-6-MEMBER_COMPATIBILITY
Interface [chars] in [chars] is [chars]. ([chars]
the incompatibility: [chars])
Explanation A configuration change has meant that a link is now incompatible (or compatible) with
the other members of the bundle. The reason for the incompatibility at the time of raising the alarm
is supplied in the message.
Recommended Action No action is required; however, any link that is incompatible will not be used
in the bundle. In order to make the link compatible, check the activity and bandwidth configurations
of all the links within the bundle.
Error Message
%L2-BM-6-MIN_MAX
[chars] is down because the minimum active link threshold
([unsigned int]) is greater than the maximum permitted links ([unsigned int])
Explanation This is an informational message reporting that a bundle is operationally down because
the configuration for minimum active links and maximum active links conflicts. The number of
active links required for the bundle to come up is greater than the number of links permitted to be
active in the bundle, and there are at least enough links held in standby state for the bundle to come
up if the maximum active link criteria were removed.
Recommended Action If this situation is not intended then either reduce the minimum active link
threshold or increase the maximum links permitted in the bundle.
C_SHIM_PARTNER Messages

system resources are low, or a problem with another part of the system. It is likely that the
interworking state reported in outgoing CCM messages will be incorrect.
Recommended Action Restarting the CFM Daemon or Ethernet Link OAM Daemon may help to
resynchronize the loopback state. This error may occur as a result of memory exhaustion; attempt
to resolve any memory issues before attempting to solve this problem. After system resource isses
have been resolved, issue 'process restart cfmd' and 'process restart elod' on the node with the affect
interfaces. If the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-3-ENGINE_TIMER
Failed to process engine timer: [chars]
Explanation An error occurred while processing the engine thread timer wheel. This may cause
CCMs not to be sent, or remote MEPs not to time out after the configured loss time.
Recommended Action The process may recover after 60s. If the problem persists, it may be possible
to recover by restarting the 'cfmd' process on the node where the problem occurred.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-3-FAULT_NOTIFICATION
Failed to generate a fault notification for a local
MEP - domain: [chars], service: [chars], MEP ID: [unsigned int], interface:
CH[hex]: [chars]
Explanation An error was encountered when trying to generate a fault notification for a local MEP,
as a result of a defect detected from a remote MEP. This will mean that the corresponding SNMP
trap will not be raised. If the error persists, CFM may not operate correctly.
Recommended Action If the error persists, it may be cleared by restarting the cfmd process on the
node where the error is occurring.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-3-HW_ERROR
Failed to update the hardware with new CFM configuration.
[chars]
Explanation CFM encountered an error while trying to update the hardware packet handling after a
configuration update, and retrying the operation has not resolved the problem. This situation could
indicate that system resources are low, or a problem with another part of the system. It is possible
that CFM will not receive packets that it should be processing, or packet processing may operate
more slowly than expected.
Recommended Action Restarting cfmd or cfm_ea processes on the affected node may help to update
the packet handling correctly. This error may occur as a result of memory exhaustion; attempt to
resolve any memory issues before attempting to solve this problem. After system resource isses have
been resolved, issue 'process restart cfmd' on the affected node. If that has no effect, issue 'process
restart cfm_ea' on the node with the affected interfaces. If the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-3-IM_STATE_ERROR
Failed to reply to Interface Manager with states for
[unsigned int] interfaces: [chars]
Explanation CFM encountered an error while trying send a state message to Interface Manager, and
the error could not be recovered from by retrying. Interface Manager is likely to continue to wait for
a response, and then shut down the affected interfaces.
Recommended Action The state operation is not essential to the operation of CFM, so if no ill effects
are observed then no action is needed. If the Interface Manager shuts the interfaces down
unexpectedly, then try issuing 'no shutdown' for each affected interface, to refresh the state. If the
message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-3-INV_DEBUG_FLTR
Failed to enable the requested debugging. Invalid debug
filter string: [chars]
Explanation The CFM debug library was notified about the creation of a debug item in SysDB which
had an unexpected number of filter parameters. The corresponding debugging flag has not been
enabled in CFM, which may lead to some debug not being printed as expected.
Recommended Action If any problems are observed, then try removing the debug filter using the 'no
debug ethernet cfm' command. If the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-3-LWM_ERROR
Failed to send a [chars] LWM message from [chars] to [chars]
thread in the CFM Daemon - message type: [chars]: [chars]
Explanation The LWM subsystem indicated an error when trying to send a message between threads
in the CFM Daemon, which could not be handled. The operation will not be retried - the internal
state of CFM may not match the global system state.
Recommended Action If any problems are observed, then try restarting the CFM Daemon using the
'process restart' command. If the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-3-MA_RESYNC
Unable to [chars] resynchronization of Maintenance Point
state with the CFM EA after a process restarted: [chars]
Explanation The CFM Daemon encountered an error while trying to resynchronize with the CFM EA
after a process (either the CFM Daemon, EA, or Interface Manager) restarted. The EA may have an
incorrect view of the set of Maintenance Points configured, so CFM packets may not be handled
correctly.
Recommended Action The CFM Daemon was unable to retry internally, but restarting the CFM
Daemon may help to resynchronize the system state. Wait until any system resource problems have
been resolved, and then issue 'process restart cfmd' If the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-3-MEPS_DELETE_CCM_GEN
Attempt to delete [unsigned int] MEPs while some
MEPs are having CCM generation enabled/disabled.
Explanation The CFM MA tried to delete a number of MEPs in the Protocol Manager while the
Protocol Manager had scheduled a number of MEPs to have CCM generation enabled or disabled in
the engine. The CCM generation batches have been cleared, which may cause an inconsistency
between CFM's internal state and the requested configuration.
Recommended Action If any problems are observed, then try restarting the CFM Daemon using the
'process restart' command. If the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-3-MP_DB_ALLOC
Failed to create Maintenance Point [chars] in the database.
Error [chars]
Explanation The CFM MA was unable to create a new Maintenance Point in the database. This
indicates that either system resources are low, or that there is an internal problem with CFM. The
set of Maintenance Points created by CFM will not match the requested configuration.
Recommended Action Wait until any situation which is putting stress on system resources is resolved,
and then try to delete and re-apply the configuration for the affected Maintenance Points. If the
message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-3-PAK_ERROR
Failed while processing packet in [chars]: [chars]
Explanation An error occurred unexpectedly while calling the packet management infrastructure to
handle a CFM packet during packet send.
Recommended Action The 'cfmd' process will restart after this error is seen. If the message recurs,
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.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-3-RETRY_EXCEEDED
Reached the maximum number of retry attempts for
[chars]. Failed updates for [unsigned int] interfaces will not be applied
Explanation The CFM MA attempted the maximum number of retrys for a failed operation. The
operation will not be retried again. The MA will attempt to recover, but it is possible that the
Maintenance Points created will not match those specified in configuration. The problem could be
caused by a system resource issue.
Recommended Action Attempt to resolve any memory issues before attempting to solve this problem.
After system resource isses have been resolved, issue 'process restart cfmd' on the affected node. If
the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-3-STATE_UPDATE_DROPPED
Failed to update [unsigned int] interface states
in CCMs.
Explanation There were insufficient system resources to provide the CFM Protocol Manager with
interface state updates. The state update notifications will not be delivered, and the interface states
in Continuity Check Messages will be incorrect for the affected interfaces. Other CFM functionality
is unaffected.
Recommended Action Wait until any situation which is putting stress on system resources is resolved,
and then issue the 'process restart cfmd' command to resynchronize the Interface states within CFM.
If the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-3-WL_QUEUE_FAILED
Failed to schedule Maintenance Point [chars]
processing for [chars]. [chars]
Explanation The CFM MA failed to schedule an operation required to modify Maintenance Point
configuration for an interface. This is likely to be a system resource issue.
Recommended Action Attempt to resolve any memory issues before attempting to solve this problem.
After system resource isses have been resolved, issue 'process restart cfmd' on the affected node. If
the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-4-CCM_PARSE_FAILED
Failed to parse CCM received by MEP in domain [chars],
service [chars], local MEP ID [unsigned int] on interface CH[hex], CCM received
from [chars]: [chars]
Explanation An error occurred while parsing a received CCM message - the error string gives more
details. This error is not caused by malformed or invalid packets. If the error persists, CFM may not
operate correctly.
Recommended Action If the error persists, it may be cleared by restarting the cfmd process on the
node where the error is occurring.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-4-CFG_INCONSISTENT
Configuration change requested is inconsistent with
the current state: [chars]
Explanation CFM recieved a configuration update that can not be processed because it is not
consistent with the current internal state. The requested update will be rejected.
Recommended Action Restarting the process may help to resynchronize the system state. If the
message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-4-ENCAP_CHANGE
[chars]: [chars] on Interface CH[hex] - CFM [chars] on
this interface
Explanation Set: Packets cannot be sent by CFM from the interface mentioned in the message, for
one of the following reasons: - The interface has no encapsulation configured. - The interface has a
complex encapsulation configured, which is not supported in conjunction with CFM. Complex
encapsulations include: - Matching on source or destination MAC addresses - Matching on payload
ethertype - Matching on VLAN tags using the 'any' keyword. In these cases, it cannot be determined
how to format the ethernet header for sending CFM packets, and hence CFM is not supported in
these scenarios. - The CoS bits configured for the MEP conflict with the CoS bits configured in the
interface encapsulation. Clear: the error condition no longer holds; the interface has a supported
encapsulation and CFM packets can be sent.
Recommended Action If the problem relates to the encapsulation, then either configure the
encapsulation on the interface, without using the above types of 'complex' matching criteria, or
deconfigure any CFM MEPs on the interface. If the problem is a conflict in the CoS bits, then either
reconfigure either the MEP or the encapsulation, so that the CoS bits specified for the MEP fall
within the CoS bits specified in the encapsulation, if any.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-4-EXIT_FAILED
Failed to notify SysMgr that [chars] is exiting: [chars]
Explanation The specified process failed to notify the system manager that it was exiting. In very
rare cases, this could result in the process not being restarted when it ought to be.
Recommended Action If the process in not running and it ought to be (ie, there is CFM configuration
remaining), then remove all CFM configuration, commit this change, then re-apply the
configuration.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-4-INIT_FAILED
Failed to initialize [chars]: [chars]%s
Explanation An error was encountered while the specified process was initializing. The error
message contains details about the source of the error.
Recommended Action The process will exit and will be restarted. If the problem persists, 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.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-4-LOSS_TIMER_FAILED
Failed to restart loss timer for MEP in domain
[chars], service [chars], local MEP ID [unsigned int] on interface CH[hex], remote
MAC [chars], remote MEP ID [unsigned int]: [chars]
Explanation An error occured while restarting the loss timer for the remote MEP specified in the
error message. This could cause the remote MEP to incorrectly be declared down some time later.
Recommended Action If the error persists and remote MEPs continually flap as a result, the problem
may be corrected by restarting the cfmd process on the node where the problem is being reported.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-4-LOST_EVENT
[chars] lost event: [chars]
Explanation The specified process failed to receive an event that was sent to it.
Recommended Action If any problems are seen, they may be rectified by restarting the process using
the 'process restart' command.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-4-MIB_CHKPT_BATCH_ERROR
Failed to manage the checkpointed state:
[chars]. [chars]
Explanation CFM encountered an error while trying to maintain its checkpoint database. The
checkpoint database is used to manage persistent MIB index values for accessing Domains and
Services over SNMP. If an error was encountered then CFM has been unable to guarantee that MIB
index values will be correctly maintained across process restarts, and existing database objects may
have their MIB indices re-assigned.
Recommended Action CFM should continue to operate normally, except for possible re-ordering of
MIB index values for any configured Domains and Services. CFM will have tried to correct any
errors it encountered in the checkpoint database. If additional problems with CFM configuration are
observed, then restarting the CGM Global Manager may help to resolve the problem. The CFM
Global Manager can be restarted by issuing 'process restart cgm' on the affected node. If the
message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-4-MIB_CHKPT_ITEM_ERROR
Failed to manage the checkpointed state for a
single item: [chars]. [chars]
Explanation CFM encountered an error while trying to maintain its checkpoint database, for a single
item in the database. The checkpoint database is used to manage persistent MIB index values for
accessing Domains and Services over SNMP. If an error was encountered then CFM has been unable
to guarantee that MIB index values will be correctly maintained across process restarts, and existing
database objects may have their MIB indices re-assigned.
Recommended Action CFM should continue to operate normally, except for possible re-ordering of
MIB index values for the affected items. CFM will have tried to correct any errors it encountered in
the checkpoint database. If additional problems with CFM configuration are observed, then
restarting the CGM Global Manager may help to resolve the problem. The CFM Global Manager
can be restarted by issuing 'process restart cgm' on the affected node. If the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-4-NOTIFY_LOSS_FAILED
Failed to relay information about loss of
connectivity for MEP in domain [chars], service [chars], local MEP ID [unsigned
int], remote MEP ID [unsigned int], remote MAC [chars]: [chars]
Explanation The CFM packet handling module has detected that a remote MEP has gone down (ie
that no CCM has been received for the loss time), but has failed to notify the management module.
As a result, the proper handling for this event (eg generating log messages and SNMP traps) will not
take place.
Recommended Action If the error persists, the problem may be corrected by restarting the cfmd
process on the node where the problem is being reported.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-4-PACKET_DECODE_FAILED
Failed to decode [unsigned int] ethernet packets,
first error: [chars]
Explanation An error occurred while attempting to decode a batch of ethernet frames which had been
received. The source of the error is the Ethernet Packet Infrastructure. The received packets will be
dropped as a result of this error. This could cause remote MEPs to time out, or ping/traceroute
operations to fail.
Recommended Action If the message recurs, 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.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-6-CC_ERROR
Remote MEP error change: [chars] - domain [chars], service
[chars], local MEP ID [unsigned int], local interface CH[hex], remote MEP ID
[unsigned int], remote MAC address [chars], errors [chars]
Explanation A change in the errors reported by a CCM message from a remote MEP was detected.
This message appears because the service which the local MEP belongs to has continuity-check
error change logging configured.
Recommended Action None.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-6-MEP_CHANGE
Remote MEP change: [chars] - domain [chars], service
[chars], local MEP ID [unsigned int], local interface CH[hex], remote MEP ID
[unsigned int], remote MAC address [chars], errors [chars]
Explanation A CCM message was received from a new remote MEP, or a previously-known remote
MEP timed out (i.e. its configured loss threshold was exceeded). This message appears because the
service which the local MEP belongs to has continuity-check state change logging configured.
Recommended Action None.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-6-SHMWIN_RESET
Resetting CFM shared memory data: [chars]
Explanation The CFM shared memory window is being reset. All shared memory data will be lost.
This means that all per-interface, per-MEP and per-remote-MEP counters are reset to zero.
Recommended Action None.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-6-TOO_MANY_TLVS
More than the supported number of TLVs were found while
processing [chars] (total length [unsigned int])
Explanation While processing a received CFM PDU, more than the supported number (32) of TLVs
were found. This is very unlikely to occur in normal operation, and may therefore indicate a
denial-of-service attack.
Recommended Action Use CFM debugging ('debug ethernet cfm packets') to determine from where
the problematic packets are originating. If the packets are from a trusted source and are expected,
modify the configuration on that host to reduce the number of organisation-specific or otherwise
unknown TLVs contained in the packet (ie TLVs not defined in the CFM standard, IEEE 802.1ag).
Error Message
%L2-CFM-6-XC_ERROR
Cross-check error change for local MEP in domain [chars],
service [chars] with MEP ID [unsigned int] on interface CH[hex] for configured
cross-check MEP ID [unsigned int][chars]: [chars]
Explanation A change in the cross-check status of a remote MEP was detected. This may indicate an
expected remote MEP configured by cross-check is missing, or a CCM message has been received
unexpectedly from a remote MEP which was not configured for cross-check, or that one of the above
errors has been cleared. This message appears because the service which the remote MEP belongs
to has cross-check error change logging configured.
Recommended Action None.
Error Message
%L2-CFM-7-PD_NOT_SUP
Operation attempted which is not supported by platform, but
the platform is advertising the relevant capability: [chars]
Explanation An operation was attempted which is not yet supported by the platform-dependent code,
but which the platform is advertising as a supported capability.
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.
CFMMIB Messages
Error Message
%L2-CFMMIB-3-NO_DEBUG
Unable to register for DOT1AG MIB debug. No further
debugging will occur: [chars]
Explanation In the initialisation of the DOT1AG MIB DLL an error occurred whilst attempting to
register for debugging. Consequently there will be no debug output from the DOT1AG MIB DLL.
Recommended Action Continue working with the DOT1AG MIB DLL without any debugging taking
place or restart the DLL such that during initialisation there is another attempt register for
debugging.
Error Message
%L2-CFMMIB-3-NO_TRAP
Unable to register for SNMP traps. Traps will not be sent
regardless of trap events occurring: [chars]
Explanation In the initialisation of the DOT1AG MIB DLL an error occurred whilst trying to register
a callback function for the enabling of SNMP traps. Alternatively whilst trying to enable traps there
was a failure in binding to SysDB for trap notifications.
Recommended Action Continue working with the DOT1AG MIB DLL without any the ability to send
traps when events occur or restart the DLL such that there is another attempt to register for traps.
CHDLC_EA Messages
Error Message
%L2-CHDLC_EA-4-ERR_EVM_EVENT_BLOCK
Error receiving an event: [chars]. The cHDLC
EA process will restart
Explanation An error occured in the event loop. The process will restart which should recover the
situation.
Recommended Action *RECUR*
Error Message
%L2-CHDLC_EA-4-ERR_INIT
Failure during initialization of the [chars]. Error
[chars]. The cHDLC EA process will restart
Explanation A failure occured during the initialization of the process. The process will restart which
should recover the situation.
Recommended Action *RECUR*
Error Message
%L2-CHDLC_EA-6-ERR_IMP_MULTIPLE_NTFCNS
CH[hex]: Multiple [chars] notifications

Explanation A batch from IMProxy contained multiple notifications for a single interface. This
should not occur but the situation has been recovered successfully by the cHDLC EA. No problems
should be seen as a result.
Recommended Action *NONE*
CHDLC_MA Messages
Error Message
%L2-CHDLC_MA-3-ERR_IIR_BDL_OP
The cHDLC MA failed to process a bundle IIR [chars]
message on CH[hex], error: [chars]
Explanation The chdlc_ma process failed to process a bundle IIR notification message. Further it is
not able to propagate the message back to the virtual interface owner, and hence it is possible that
the basecaps is out of step with the bundle configuration.
Recommended Action *SUPPORT*
Error Message
%L2-CHDLC_MA-3-ERR_INTF_UP_DOWN
An error has occured resulting in the interface
state being UP, and the line state being DOWN on interface CH[hex]. Because
keepalives are disabled the line will never come up. The situation may be resolved
by shutting and no shutting the interface, or enabling keepalives.
Explanation If keepalives are disabled and certain errors occur then the interface and line state can
end up being out of step. Without keepalives enabled, SLARP has no way to recover by discovering
the correct line state, so user intervention is required for a chance of recovery.
Recommended Action shut and then no shut the problematic interface, or enable keepalives on the
interface.
Error Message
%L2-CHDLC_MA-3-ERR_SYSMGR_SOCK_FEAT_START
Startup of the cHDLC Socket feature
has unexpectedly failed: [chars]
Explanation The cHDLC socket feature unexpectedly failed to be started by sysmgr. This may mean
that processes which use cHDLC sockets to send and receive packets will be unable to do so, and
may not be working correctly. Symptoms would include loss of SLARP keepalive packets causing
the line state to go down, loss of CDP packets and loss of LACP packets on cHDLC encapsulated
interfaces.
Recommended Action The problem can be fixed by manually starting the cHDLC Socket server
process on the affected node using the command 'process start chdlc_socket location location'. The
command 'show process chdlc_socket location location' will indicate the state of the process. Once
the socket server process is running, no further action is required.
Error Message
%L2-CHDLC_MA-4-ERR_EVM_EVENT_BLOCK

Explanation A failure occurred during the initialisation of the cHDLC socket process. The process
will restart which should recover the situation.
Recommended Action *RECUR*
Error Message
%L2-CHDLC_SOCK-4-ERR_PAKMAN_CORRUPTION
Unable to handle pakman corruption error:
[chars]. chdlc_socket process restarting
Explanation A packet manager corruption has been reported and the cHDLC Socket process has
failed to cleanup to recover from the problem. The process will exit and be automatically restarted
to recover from this situation.
Recommended Action It is expected that restarting the process will fix this problem. This is done
automatically so no action should be required. If the problem recurs, then there is a problem in
packet manager. A drastic solution would be to reload the linecard.
CHDLCDLL Messages
Error Message
%L2-CHDLCDLL-3-ERR_DEBUG_REGISTER

%L2-L2FIB_LIB-4-RSRC_LOW
L2FIB running low on [chars] resource memory. L2FIB will
now begin resource constrained forwarding. Only route deletes will be handled in
this state, which may result in mismatch between L2VPN mgr/AIB/L2FIB and L2FIB.
Traffic loss on certain ACs can be expected. The L2FIB will automatically resume
normal operation, once the resource utilization returns to normal level
Explanation The l2fib_mgr process has detected that average utilization for specified resource has
risen above a predefined high watermark value, and has entered resource contrained forwarding
mode. In this mode, the l2fib will only handle route deletes which may potentially freeup some
memory. Due to this operational mode, the L2VPN mgr/AIB/L2FIB and L2FIB will be out of sync.
Once ACs are deleted and resource utilization level drops to acceptable levels again, l2fib will come
out of this operational mode and resume normal operation.
Recommended Action Run show l2vpn forwarding resource command and check which resource(s)
are running low on memory. Any action that reduces number of ACs will eventually result in the
l2fib returning to normal operation after few seconds.

%L2-PFILTER_EA-3-ERR_IM_CAPS
[chars] acl failed on interface CH[hex]. [chars]
Explanation 1) An ACL could not be applied to hardware because of one of the following reasons:
a) TCAM max limit has been reached. b) RLB resources are not available. c) IPv6 address
compression table is full. This error can happen when a new bundle member is added and the ACL
can not be programmed successfully. 2) An ACL could not be removed from hardware.
Recommended Action 1) When this error occurs the running-config will not be in sync with line card
configuration. It is recommended that the bundle member on which the error occured be removed
from the bundle. The ACL configuration may also be reduced until it can be successfully
programmed on the new bundle member. 2) If the ACL could not be removed from hardware a line
card reload is recommended.
