System Error Messages for Cisco IOS Release 12.2 S

---

This document lists and describes the system error messages for Cisco IOS software Release 12.2 S, up to and including 12.2(25)S. The system software sends these error messages to the console (and, optionally, to a logging server on another system) during operation. Not all system error messages indicate problems with your system. Some are purely informational, and others may help diagnose problems with communications lines, internal hardware, or the system software.

This document lists only error messages for Cisco IOS software Release 12.2 S that differ from the error messages that appear in Cisco IOS software Release 12.2 and Cisco IOS software release 12.3. For additional system error messages that are in Release 12.2 S, refer to the Cisco  IOS Software System Error Messages manual for Cisco IOS Release 12.2 at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios122/122sup/122sems/index.htm and the Cisco  IOS Software System Error Messages manual for Cisco IOS Release 12.3 at http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/software/ios123/123sup/123sems/index.htm.

How to Read System Error Messages

System messages begin with a percent sign (%) and are structured as follows. The text in bold are required elements of the System Message, the text in italics are optional elements of the System Message.

%FACILITY-SUBFACILITY-SEVERITY-MNEMONIC: Message-text

FACILITY is a code consisting of two or more uppercase letters that indicate the facility to which the message refers. A facility can be a hardware device, a protocol, or a module of the system software. Table 1 lists the system facility codes.

SUBFACILITY is used only for Cisco Catalyst 6000 series switches that are operating in a distributed system. The subfacility can consist of one code, or two codes that are divided by a hyphen, and describes the part of the distributed system from where the message is coming. For example, the %DIAG-SP-STDBY-6-RUN_MINIMUM system message is the %DIAG-6-RUN_MINIMUM message coming from the switch processor (SP) that is in redundant or standby (STDBY) mode.

SEVERITY is a single-digit code from 0 to 7 that reflects the severity of the condition. The lower the number, the more serious the situation. Table 2 lists the severity levels.

MNEMONIC is a code that uniquely identifies the error message.

Message-text is a text string describing the condition. This portion of the message sometimes contains detailed information about the event, including terminal port numbers, network addresses, or addresses that correspond to locations in the system memory address space. Because the information in these variable fields changes from message to message, it is represented here by short strings enclosed in square brackets ([ ]). A decimal number, for example, is represented as [dec]. Table 3 lists the representations of variable fields and the type of information in them.

The following is a sample system error message:

%LINK-2-BADVCALL: Interface [chars], undefined entry point

Some error messages also indicate the card and slot reporting the error. These error messages begin with a percent sign (%) and are structured as follows:

%CARD-SEVERITY-MSG:SLOT %FACILITY-SEVERITY-MNEMONIC: Message-text

CARD is a code that describes the type of card reporting the error. VIP and FEIP are possible card types.

MSG is a mnemonic that indicates this is a message. It is always shown as MSG.

SLOT indicates the slot number of the card reporting the error. It is shown as SLOT followed by a number. (For example, SLOT5.)

Note The prepended portion of the error message (%CARD-SEVERITY-MSG:SLOT) is not shown in the error message listings in this document.

Table 2 Error Message Severity Levels 

Level	Description
0 - emergency	System unusable
1 - alert	Immediate action needed
2 - critical	Critical condition
3 - error	Error condition
4 - warning	Warning condition
5 - notification	Normal but significant condition
6 - informational	Informational message only
7 - debugging	Appears during debugging only

Message severity levels correspond to the keywords assigned by the logging console and logging monitor global configuration commands that define where and at what level these messages appear. In general, the default is to log messages from level 0 (emergencies) to level 7 (debugging). However, the default level varies by platform. For more information, see the system configuration chapter and descriptions of the logging console and logging monitor commands in the appropriate Cisco IOS configuration guide and command reference publications.
