System Error Messages for 11.3 T

This chapter lists and describes the system error messages for Cisco IOS Release 11.3 T, up to and including 11.3(5)T. 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, while others may help diagnose problems with communications lines, internal hardware, or the system software.

This chapter only lists error messages for Cisco IOS Release 11.3 T that are not documented in the Cisco IOS Release 11.3 System Error Messages manual. For additional system error messages, refer to the System Error Messages manual.

How to Read System Error Messages

The messages are organized according to the particular system facility that produces the messages. The facility sections appear in alphabetical order, and within each facility section, messages are listed alphabetically by mnemonic. Each error message is followed by an explanation and a recommended action.

System error messages begin with a percent sign (%) and are structured as follows: 

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

FACILITY is a code consisting of two or more uppercase letters that indicates 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 facilities codes.

SUBFACILITY is a code relevant only to Channel Interface Processor (CIP) error messages. There are no CIP error messages listed in this document.

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.

Error Message   
%CRYPTO-4-RECVD_PKT_INV_SPI: decaps: rec'd IPSEC packet has invalid spi for destaddr=[int], prot=[dec], spi=0x[hex]([dec]), (ONEMIN)

Explanation   A received IPSEC packet specifies an SPI that does not exist in the security association database (SADB). This may be a temporary condition resulting from slight differences in the aging of SAs between the IPSEC peers, or because the local SAs have been cleared. It may also be caused by bogus packets being sent by the IPSEC peer. Some might consider this a hostile event.

Recommended Action   If the local SAs have been cleared, the peer may not know this. In this case, if a new connection is established from the local router, the two peers may reestablish successfully. If the problem occurs for more than a brief period, either attempt to establish a new connection or contact the peer's administrator.


Error Message   
%CRYPTO-4-RECVD_PKT_MAC_ERR: decrypt: mac verify failed for connection id=[dec], (ONEMIN)
