route processor. There are 16 bidirectional ports for 16 different traffic streams. A Hummer port
needs to be enabled in the hardware level in order to function. A failure in enabling the Hummer
port may prevent this route processor from communicating with other cards in the chassis. %d -
indicates the port number (0 to 15) %s - is the error reason.
Recommended Action Try restarting the process where the error message was found. Otherwise, try
the following: If a redundant route processor card has been configured: 1 - force a failover with the
following command in admin mode: 'redundancy switchover' 2 - reload the route processor card that
failed with the following command in admin mode: 'reload location RP/0/x/CPU0' where x is the
slot of route processor that generated the error. If no redundant RP is configured, you will need to
reboot the router by issuing the reload command. If the error recurs call your Cisco technical support
representative and provide 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.

to client cannot be reused since there is No Buffer
Explanation The packet processing code formats packets from the fabric and passes them to the
clients. When the client finished with the packet, the packet processing code cannot reuse the packet
buffer because none is found associated with the packet. The issue can happen due to a software
issue with the client. %d - Client ID. Every process that uses the fabric API has an unique Client ID.

%FABRIC-FABQ-3-PRP3_TOFAB_CREDIT_CNT_EXCEEDED
RP To Fabric Credit Count([dec])

Explanation PRP3 fabric hardware requires software to track To Fabric hardware resources for each
chassis slot. During the update of this shared per slot information, software detected the resources
for this slot exceeded that actual maximum available. This is likely the side affect of a packet
resource management event in the fabric driver DLL. %d To Fabric count that exceeds maximum
%d The slot associated with the error %d The fabric application port that detected the error (but not
necessarily the port that caused the error.
Recommended Action The error is likely a software bug in tofab packet error or process restart
handling. 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

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 backpressure 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

Explanation Sometimes, when the register access of the superstar ASIC fails, read of any of its
registers returns 0xdeaddead. Now if this happens when CIH is processing an interrupt, CIH would
accidentally determine the source of the interrupt as Rx Snoop SRAM SBE interrupt. In reality, this
interrupt is not even enabled by the driver. The Rx snoop SRAM SBE interrupt is obtained if we
traverse the interrupt tree of the superstar ASIC as given below: - Bit 0 of the top level CPU
hierarchy interrupt is Rx block. - Bit 0 of the Rx block hierarchy is Rx block leaf interrupts. - Bit 0
of the Rx block leaf interrupts in Rx Snoop SRAM SBE.
