    down all non-VSL interfaces 
    

    Explanation    A dual-active situation has occurred because VSL went down. The VSL has become inactive and both virtual switches have taken over the role of the active virtual switch. To fix this condition, the standby virtual switch has become active and taken control of the network. All non-VSL interfaces on the original active virtual switch will be internally shut down in hardware.

    Recommended Action    Attempt to determine the reason why VSL has gone down and correct it. Once VSL has been reestablished, the original active virtual switch will reload. Enter all variations of the commands:

    show switch virtual troubleshooting last
    show vslp lmp status
    show switch virtual dual-active summary
    show switch virtual dual-active pagp
    show switch virtual dual-active bfd

    recovery 
    

    Explanation    Bidirectional Forwarding Detection (BFD) detected a dual-active scenario on the specified interface and caused the switch to go into recovery mode.

    Recommended Action    No action is required.

    Error Message    %DUAL_ACTIVE-1-VSL_DOWN: VSL is down - switchover, or possible 
    dual-active situation has occurred 
    

    Explanation    The virtual switch link (VSL) between the active and standby switches has gone offline. The following are possible reasons for the switchover condition:

    –-A switchover has occurred and the standby virtual switch has become the active virtual switch.

    –A dual-active situation has occurred, and the original active virtual switch has gone into recovery mode, which would bring down all non-VSL interfaces on the original active virtual switch.

    –A dual-active situation has occurred, but the original active virtual switch did not detect the dual active state and did not go into recovery mode. This condition may be the result of multiple system failures or an incorrect configuration that caused the dual-active situation to not be detected.

    Recommended Action    Attempt to determine the reason why the VSL has gone offline and correct it if it is a dual-active situation. Enter all variations of the commands:

    show switch virtual troubleshooting last
    show vslp lmp status
    show switch virtual dual-active summary
    show switch virtual dual-active pagp

    Error Message    %DUAL_ACTIVE-4-CONFIG: [chars] 
    

    Explanation    If VSL goes down due to any reason, standby switch will take over as active immediately.If the original active chassis is still operational, both chassis are now active. This situation is called a dual-active scenario. A dual-active scenario can have adverse affects on network stability, because both chassis use the same IP addresses, SSH keys, and STP bridge ID.The virtual switching system (VSS) must detect a dual-active scenario and take recovery action for which at least one of the following detection methods should be configured: a/ Ehanced Pagp b/ IP BFD c/ Fast-hello. Please refer to Software configuration guide for more details.

    Recommended Action    Configure one or more dual-active detection methods as per configuration guide.

    without a type and/or length field ([dec]) 
    

    Explanation    mLACP received an improperly formatted TLV from the peer. As a result the local and peer devices may have mismatched state data.

    Recommended Action    Issue the show version command on the local and remote devices to get the versions of IOS that are running. Reference the mLACP section of the IOS documentation to verify that mLACP is compatible between the IOS versions on the two devices. If the versions are compatible and the message still appears then please contact your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the exact error message being seen as well as the versions of IOS from both devices.

    Error Message    %ETHERNET_MLACP-4-ICRM_CLIENT_RECV_REJ: Received rejected mLACP TLV 
    from peer with message ID [dec] 
    

    Explanation    A remote mLACP peer has rejected an mLACP TLV.

    Recommended Action    Issue the show version command on the local and remote devices to get the versions of IOS that are running. Reference the mLACP section of the IOS documentation to verify that mLACP is compatible between the IOS versions on the two devices. If the versions are compatible and the message still appears then please contact your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the exact error message being seen as well as the versions of IOS from both devices.

    Error Message    %ETHERNET_MLACP-4-PEER_DISCONNECT: An mLACP peer has disconnected from 
    redundancy group [int], attempting to reconnect 
    

    Explanation    mLACP has detected that a peer device from the specified redundancy group has disconnected. mLACP will attempt to reconnect to the device until successful.

    Recommended Action    This message is typically caused by a configuration event on the peer router, and so no action may be necessary. However if this message is unexpected then issue the show redundancy interchassis command on both the local and peer mLACP devices to determine which peer member IP has lost communication. Use this information to further debug the network communication issue, and re-enable communication with the peer. Reference the mLACP section of the IOS documentation for more information on peer down failures.

    Error Message    %ETHERNET_MLACP-4-PEER_DOWN: mLACP Peer down failure: Attempting to 
    make [dec] local LAGs active in redundancy group [int] 
    

    Explanation    mLACP has detected a peer down failure and has attempted to make the local port-channels become active.

    Recommended Action    The peer down failure should be corrected by re-enabling communication with the peer mLACP device. Use the show redundancy interchassis command on both the local and peer mLACP devices to determine which peer member IP has lost communication. Use this information to further debug the network communication issue, and re-enable communication with the peer. Reference the mLACP section of the IOS documentation for more information on peer down failures.

    Error Message    %ETHERNET_MLACP-4-PEER_RECONNECT_FAILED: The attempt to reconnect to 
    the peer in redundancy group [int] has failed 
    

    Explanation    After an mLACP peer device disconnected, an attempt was made to reconnect, however that attempt has failed.

    Recommended Action    To reinitialize the connection, unconfigure mlacp interchassis group from the port-channel, and then reconfigure it. After doing that, issue show redundancy interchassis to get the peer member IP connection status and the mLACP connection state. If the peer member IP connection status is not CONNECTED then there is a more basic communication issue that needs to be fixed. Otherwise if the peer member IP is CONNECTED but the mLACP state is not CONNECTED, then there could be a software issue. In that case collect the output of show redundancy interchassis, show lacp multi-chassis group, and show lacp multi-chassis port-channel. Then please contact your Cisco technical support representative and provide the collected information.

    Error Message    %ETHERNET_MLACP-4-PEER_UP: mLACP has recovered from a peer down 
    failure in redundancy group [int] 
    

    Explanation    mLACP is now in communication with the peer device, and has recovered from a previous peer down failure.

    Recommended Action    This message may not require any action. However the show lacp multi-chassis group and show lacp multi-chassis port-channel commands may be used to verify the state of the mLACP port-channels. Reference the mLACP section of the IOS documentation for details on peer down failures and related configuration commands.

    FILESYS-4

    Error Message    %FILESYS-4-CLPDINT: Management interrupts are [chars] for pcmcia 
    device in socket [dec]. [chars] 
    

    Explanation    A faulty PCMCIA flash device might be generating spurious insert or remove interrupts continuously. The PCMCIA controller's interrupt generation will be disabled temporarily, and will be reenabled after a few seconds. If an alternate PCMCIA device is inserted while the interrupts are disabled, the alternate device may not be readable. In this case, you must remove and reinsert the PCMCIA device.

    Recommended Action    Replace the PCMCIA flash device.
