Problem Description

If the affected Cisco 12000 series line card (listed in the Products Affected section) has 64 MB of packet buffer memory, the line card may experience console error messages. Packet corruption and dropped packets may also occur.

Background

A memory timing problem with 64 MB packet buffer memory is causing this problem.

Problem Symptoms

Following is an example of the type of console error message that may be generated:

SLOT 7:%LC-3-BMAERRSS: ToFab BMA SDRAM data error 1B00 in address 0

Workaround/Solution

All cards shipped with 64 MB of packet buffer memory may exhibit this problem. This problem has not been seen on cards with 256 MB of packet buffer memory. If you have an affected card (listed in the Products Affected section) with 64 MB of packet memory, there are two options for correcting this problem:

Option 1 - Upgrade the Memory

If you wish to replace your 64 MB packet buffer memory with 256 MB memory modules, order 256 MB memory modules at no cost by completing this form.

Option 2 - Return Your Cards to Cisco for Upgrading

If you wish to return your cards to Cisco to be upgraded from 64 MB to 256 MB of packet buffer memory at no cost, complete this form.
