6 Cisco Systems Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module for the IBM Eserver BladeCenter System Message Guide

Chapter 1. System Message Overview

This guide describes the switch-specific system messages. During operation, the

system software sends these messages to the console (and, optionally, to a logging

server on another system). Not all system messages indicate problems with your

system. Some messages are purely informational, whereas others can help diagnose

problems with communications lines, internal hardware, or the system software. This

guide also includes error messages that appear when the system fails.

Note: The Catalyst 2950 switch messages listed in this guide also apply to the Cisco

Systems Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module.

This chapter contains these sections:

• How to Read System Messages, on page 7

• Error Message Traceback Reports, on page 9

How to Read System Messages

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

%FACILITY-SEVERITY-MNEMONIC: Message-text

• FACILITY is a code consisting of two or more uppercase letters that show 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.

• 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

message severity levels.

• MNEMONIC is a code that uniquely identifies the 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 variable fields in messages.

The messages in Chapter 2 “Message and Recovery Procedures,” are described in

alphabetical order by facility code with the most severe (lowest number) errors

described first.

Error Message Traceback Reports

Some messages describe internal errors and contain traceback information. This

information is very important and should be included when you report a problem to

your technical support representative.

This message example includes traceback information:

-Process= "Exec", level= 0, pid= 17

-Traceback= 1A82 1AB4 6378 A072 1054 1860

Some messages ask you to copy the messages and take further action. These online

tools can provide more information about messages:

• Output Interpreter

The Output Interpreter provides additional information and suggested fixes based

on the output of many CLI commands, such as the the show tech-support

privileged EXEC command. You can access the Output Interpreter at this URL:

https://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/OutputInterpreter/home.pl

• Bug Toolkit

The Bug Toolkit provides information on open and closed caveats, and allows you

to search for all known bugs in a specific Cisco IOS Release. You can access the

Bug Toolkit at this URL:

http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/Bugtool/home.pl

If you still cannot determine the nature of the error, provide the information you have

gathered to your technical support representative.
