Error Message
%AT-3-DOMLOOP: LOOP Detected on Domain [dec] [ [chars] ]

Explanation A routing loop was detected by the domain router.

Loops are not allowed; however, a loop detection process running in the background of the domain router tries to spot a loop situation. Whenever a domain router gets a new zone list from one of the domains that is identical to one in the main routing table and the length of the network range matches, it starts a loop detection process.

A loop detection process sends several AppleTalk loop packets, which are NBP packets of type "LoopBack". When a loop packet is received on the interface that does not belong to the original domain, the domain router shuts off all the domains, and subsequently all the interfaces in these domains, which are involved in the loop.

Loop detection may not catch all types of loops. It is the responsibility of the user to make sure that no loop exists.

Recommended Action Disable the cause of the routing loop. Restart the interfaces involved.

Error Message
%AT-3-DOMOVERFLOW: Remap Range OVERFLOW for [chars] Domain [dec]

%CBUS-3-DAUGHTER: Unit [dec], daughter controller [dec] failed [chars] test - interface disabled

Explanation A hardware component failed an internal diagnostic test. Test output and descriptions of ranges follow.

Unit [dec] (ranges 0-14):

Indicates the Multibus jumper setting for the ciscoBus controller, or in the Cisco 7000, a slot number.

daughter controller [dec] (ranges 0-3):

Indicates the ciscoBus relative slot number (0 to 3, or in the Cisco 7000, 0 to 4) of the daughter card that failed the test.

failed [chars] test ([chars]= memd read, memd write):

If the failed test was memd read, the processor was able to write to shared ciscoBus buffer memory from the ciscoBus registers, but was unable to read back that memory through special commands to the daughter card.

If the failed test was memd write, writes to the memory device (MEMD) through the daughter card were not verified successfully with reads through the ciscoBus controller.

The daughter card under test responds successfully to some commands (otherwise the software would have received a DAUGHTER_NO_RSP message), but its MEMD tests failed. The daughter card must be able to write to some MEMD addresses; otherwise, it cannot respond to any commands.

Recommended Action First check that the daughter controller card is properly seated in its Multibus and ciscoBus connectors. Next, swap daughter cards and check whether the error follows the daughter card or the slot. If the message recurs, call your technical support representative for assistance.

Error Message
%CBUS-3-DAUGHTER_NO_RSP: Unit [dec], daughter [dec], not responding [hex] - disabled

Explanation A hardware component failed an internal diagnostic test. Test output and descriptions of ranges follow.

Indicates the Multibus jumper setting for the ciscoBus controller.

daughter controller [dec] (ranges 0-3):
Indicates the ciscoBus relative slot number (0 to 3, or in the Cisco 7000, 0 to 4) of the daughter card that failed the test.

The daughter card's hardware was recognized across the ciscoBus backplane, but the daughter card did not respond to the first command issued to it.

This condition is a result of one of the following: the daughter card did not reset, or the microcode on the card is in a hung state, or the card cannot fully communicate across the ciscoBus backplane (cannot read or write shared MEMD or does not get the MALU_ATTENTION signal across the ciscoBus).

Recommended Action First, make sure that the daughter card is properly seated in its Multibus and ciscoBus connectors. If this action does not solve the problem, call your technical support representative.

CIP Error Messages

The system can report error conditions in several facility codes related to the Channel Interface Processor (CIP). As shown in the following example, the format of the error messages for the CIP differs slightly from the format of other system error messages:

%CIP3-6-MSG:%ADAPTER-6-DIAGBEGIN: [chars] diagnostic starting

All CIP-related error messages begin with a percent sign (%), the facility code CIP, and a number that indicates the slot where the CIP is installed. The next meaningful information is the facility subcode, severity level, and mnemonic. This part of the error message is preceded by another percent sign, such as %ADAPTER-6-DIAGBEGIN in the above example.

For simplicity, CIP error messages are organized into sections alphabetically by facility subcode beginning with CIP-ADAPTER. Within each CIP section, messages appear alphabetically by mnemonic.

Explanation A link-state packet (LSP) was received for either Intermediate System-to-Intermediate System (ISIS) or NetWare Link Services Protocol (NLSP) which failed an internal data checksum, but which had passed the datalink checksum. The interface on which the LSP was received is indicated, along with the total count of checksum errors received, the LSP ID, and the level of the failing LSP. This usually indicates data corruption occurring on a link but may also indicate data corruption in memory in a neighboring router.

Recommended Action If the error is in a neighboring router's memory, the problem will correct itself within 15 minutes (since that router will detect its internal error and regenerate the corrupted data). This case is usually indicated by a single LSP ID appearing repeatedly in these messages (and the same LSP ID may appear in this message on other routers).

If datalink corruption has caused the error, the link should be checked for errors and dealt with appropriately. This case is usually indicated by a number of different LSP IDs appearing in these messages.

%RSP-3-MSDOG: Master/slave watchdog timed out

Explanation The system software failed to reset the master/slave watchdog timer, causing it to time out. This behavior could indicate a software problem or a hardware problem.

Error Message
%RSP-3-MSFIX: Fixing [chars] by setting to default [chars]

Explanation The characters shown can be either on the slave RSP setting or on the master RSP setting.

The ROM monitor default slave RSP setting is not synchronized with the system configuration file specifications. During bootup, the system image detects the mismatch and modifies the ROM monitor setting to conform with these specifications.

This mismatch most likely occurred because a new RSP was being installed and booted in a high system availability (HSA) environment (dual RSPs) for the first time. Alternatively, in established HSA configurations, this message may result from a previous Interprocess Communication (IPC) error occurring while the HSA environment is reconfigured.

Recommended Action

1. Using the show version or show boot command, determine which slot contains the current slave RSP.

2. Using the show config command, determine which slot has been specified as the default slave RSP. If there is no slave default-slot n command in the configuration file, the value defaults to the highest numbered CPU slot (slot 3 on a Cisco 7507, and slot 7 on a Cisco 7513).

If the slot number obtained in Step 1 is the same as the number obtained in Step 2, then no further action is required. You have configured HSA in simple hardware backup mode, and both RSPs are identical.

However, if the two slot numbers differ, you have configured HSA in software error protection mode, and will have different images running, depending on which RSP is currently the slave RSP. If the slot numbers discovered in Steps 1 and 2 differ, reload your router to ensure that the desired system image is running. After the reload, the actual slave RSP will match the default slave RSP specified in (or inferred from) the system configuration file.

For details of various HSA configuration modes consult the Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide, see the "Loading System Images, Microcode Images and Configuration Files" chapter, in the "Configuring High System Availability Operation" section (Cisco 7500 Series only).

Error Message
%RSP-3-MSVERS: Master has m/s version [dec], slave has m/s version [dec]

Explanation The master and slave are running incompatible software versions with regards to the master/slave exchange process.

Recommended Action If the slave image global configuration is used to overide the default slave image from the bundle, then the slave image is incompatible. Update either the master or slave image to ensure the two are compatible.

If the slave is running the image from the bundle, execute and record the output of show version, show running, and show controller cbus. Report this information and the error message to your technical support representative.

Error Message

Error Message
%RSP-3-SLAVECHANGE: Slave changed state from [chars] to [chars]

Explanation

The slave RSP has undergone a hardware state change. Both the old state and new state are shown.

Possible states are

nonparticipant
slave
master
unplugged

Possible state changes indicated by the above message are

any to unplugged
unplugged to nonparticipant or slave
nonparticipant to slave
slave to nonparticipant

Any other combination is unexpected.

Recommended Action

Causes and recommended solutions:

The slave RSP has been removed. Consider reinstalling it if continued high system availability (HSA) operation is required. If the slave RSP is present, ensure that it is properly seated in the card cage.
A slave RSP has been installed. Configure the router for HSA. See the Configuration Fundamentals Configuration Guide, in the "Loading System Images, Microcode Images and Configuration Files" chapter, in the "Configuring High System Availability Operation" section (Cisco 7500 Series only) for more details. In particular, use the slave sync config command to ensure that the new slave RSP is configured consistently with the current master RSP.

CAUTION: Failure to ensure a consistent configuration on a freshly installed slave RSP, might result in undefined behavior if the router reloads.

A previously crashed slave RSP has been reset, or a newly installed slave RSP is in transition from unplugged to nonparticipant, and finally to slave state. No action is required.
The slave RSP image has crashed. Log in to the slave RSP's console using the if-console slot. You will now be connected to the ROM monitor prompt on the slave RSP. Diagnose the slave RSP failure. For example, capture the output from the stack and context ROM monitor commands. Provide that information to customer support, along with the router's configuration and any other relevant information, so that the problem can be investigated.

Log out from the slave RSP's console port using Ctrl-c or Ctrl-z, and enter the slave reload global configuration command on the master RSP to bring the slave RSP back online.

All other state changes indicate a software or hardware error. Provide the router's configuration and any other relevant information to customer support so that the problem can be investigated.

Error Message

Error Message
%TUN-4-RECURDOWN: [chars] temporarily disabled due to recursive routing

Explanation When routing the same payload protocol over a carrier protocol (tunneling IP over IP, for example), it is possible to misconfigure your network so that you will try to route to the tunnel destination address via the tunnel. This is usually caused by a misconfiguration of the tunnel or a temporary instability due to route flapping elsewhere in your network. It is important to take steps to ensure that routing information between the carrier networks and the payload networks is not allowed to mix. If the router discovers a recursive routing problem, it will temporarily shut down the tunnel interface for a few minutes so that the situation that is causing this problem can resolve itself as routing protocols converge. If the problem is caused by misconfiguration, the link may oscillate indefinitely.

Recommended Action No action required.

Error Message
%TUN-4-RECURSHUT: [chars] administratively disabled due to recursive routing

Explanation If the recursive routing situation reported by the RECURDOWN message is not cleared up after ten bounces, the tunnel interface will be administratively shut down to avoid further flapping.

Error Message
%X25-4-LARGEPKSIZE: Interface [chars], [chars] packet sizes [dec]/[dec] too large; lower values will be negotiated.

Explanation The interface's default packet sizes or outgoing packet size facility values are too large to be carried by Link Access Procedure, Balanced (LAPB).

Recommended Action The router will negotiate lower packet size values automatically. The LAPB N1 value should be increased. For example, for an X.25 maximum packet size of 1024, modulo 8 X.25 operation will add 3 bytes of overhead and modulo 8 LAPB operation will add 4 bytes of overhead (the two bytes of CRC are defined to be included). This means that N1 must be at least 1031 bytes * 8 = 8248.

Explanation A PVC was using an x25 map entry that was deleted or the interface configuration changed to make the PVC number illegal; this forces the deletion of the PVC.

Recommended Action No action required. Note that some attached equipment may object to an inability to use the deleted PVC.

Error Message
%X25-4-RANGEUNUSED: Interface [chars], [chars] VC range unused; set limits to zero

Explanation An outgoing-only or incoming-only virtual circuit range exactly overlaps the two-way virtual circuit range. This was the former method for specifying that a virtual circuit range was not used. The current method is to set the range limits to zero.

Recommended Action Use the privileged copy running-config startup-config command to write the configuration to memory. This will store the modified (zero) range limits.

Error Message
%X25-3-SIZEBAD: Interface [chars] LCI [dec] Decompression size error

Explanation An internal software error occurred. The PBP header has an uncompressed packet size field. Each uncompressed packet size is checked against this field.

Recommended Action Contact your technical support representative for assistance.

Error Message
%X25-3-SYNCBAD: Interface [chars] LCI [dec] Decompression sync error. Expected [dec], got [dec]

Explanation An internal software error occurred. The PBP header has a sync field. The sync field (8 bits) is checked on each received packet.

Recommended Action Contact your technical support representative for assistance.

Error Message
%X25-4-VCLOSTSYNC: Interface [chars], VC [dec] TCP connection [chars]

Explanation An X.25 circuit that is being tunneled over a TCP connection between routers was cleared ungracefully. The last [chars] text string in the message can take one of two forms. If the text string is "closed unexpectedly," the router at the remote end of the connection was rebooted, or the connection failed. If the text string is "connection corrupted," it is likely that the connection was made to a router running an older software release.

Recommended Action If the text string is "closed unexpectedly," reestablish the connection after the remote router or intervening network is operational. If the text string is "connection corrupted," upgrade the router at the other end of the connection to a more recent software release.

Error Message
%X25-3-VERSIONBAD: Interface [chars] LCI [dec] Compression Version mismatch. Expected [hex]; received [hex]

Explanation An internal software error occurred. The PBP header has a mismatched version field. The version is checked on each received packet.

Recommended Action Copy the message exactly as it appears, and report it your technical support representative.

Error Message
%X25-3-XOTPROTOCOL: XOT protocol error from [inet]: [chars]

Explanation A protocol error was detected over an X.25-over-TCP (XOT) connection, causing the connected VC to close. A flaw may exist in the remote host's XOT implementation.

Recommended Action If this message recurs, call your technical support representative for assistance.
