%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 a slot number in the Cisco 7000.

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 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 memory device tests failed. The daughter card must be able to write to some memory device 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.

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])

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.
