Error Message
%FABRIC-FABQ-3-PRP3_TOFAB_QUEUE_BLOCKED
RP To Fabric Queue slot:[dec] is
blocked, report fault to sysldr
Explanation The PRP3 to fabric queue of the particular priority and slot is blocked. This means
packets that go that slot of that priority will fail. In addition, at least one of the multicast queues
(high or low priority) is blocked as well. This likely means the particular slot is failing to accept
packets and will cause back pressure on the PRP to fabric queue. Because of hardware design, if a
multicast packet includes the one faulty slot then it will be stuck in the tofab multicast queue, and
subsequent multicast packets will be stuck even if they do not include the faulty slot in their
slotmask. Having the unicast queue blocked is somewhat allowable, but having the multicast queue
blocked is not acceptable. This error message is raised when both unicast and multicast are blocked.
In order to alleviate this problem, the fault is sent to sysldr, for sylsdr to decide to reload the slot. It
is very likely that the problem slot was not accepting packets. slot:%d is the slot that is back
pressuring to the PRP
Recommended Action The slot should be reloaded to correct the problem, if not done already by
sysldr. Copy the error message exactly as it appears and report it to your Cisco technical
representative together with the gathered information. 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.
