The phases are "Reset board", "Reset delay", "Check reset done", "Check reset delay", "Init SCB", "Init SCB delay", "Init SCB completion", "Read hardware address", "Set bus throttle timers", "Internal loopback", "Set hardware address", "Enable receive", "Internal loopback (output)", "Check internal loopback data", "External loopback", "External loopback delay", "External loopback (output)", "Check external loopback data", "Network loopback", "Network loopback delay", "Network loopback (output)", "Check network loopback data", "Clear loopback", and "Operational test".

Cause: In the "Reset board" phase, the error "Packetsize of < 1500 bytes" indicates that the interface has been provided with buffers that are too small.

Action: Correct configuration of system that is artificially reducing packet size below Ethernet requirement of 1500 bytes.

Cause: In all phases, the error "No buffers" indicates that there is a severe packet buffer shortage in the router.

Action: Increase buffer memory size, decrease buffer size on configurable networks.

Cause: In phase "Init SCB completion", the error "ISCP busy not 0" indicates that the BUSY byte of the 82596 Intermediate System Configuration Pointer (ISCP) did not clear after the CA signal was sent.

Action: This indicates a probable hardware problem with the interface or router. Run diagnostics.

Cause: The error "Unexpected receive pkt" indicates that the interface recieved a packet in a self-test state where it did not expect to receive a packet.

Action: This indicates a possible hardware problem with the interface. Run diagnostics.

Cause: The error "Loop back count error", indicates that the recieved loopback packet was not of the same length as the transmitted one.

Action: This indicates a possible hardware problem with the interface. Run diagnostics.

Cause: The error "Loop back stat error" indicates that the receive of the loopback packet had an unsuccessful error status.

Action: This indicates a possible hardware problem with the interface. Run diagnostics.

Cause: The error "Loop back data error" indicates that there was a data mismatch in the loopback packet.

Action: This indicates a possible hardware problem with the interface. Run diagnostics.

Cause: In the "Operational test" phase, the error "maintenance failure" indicates that the interface could not perform a successful maintenance test. (The maintenance test sends one packet and checks for carrier sense.)

Action: Check the transceiver cabling and hardware.

Cause: In all phases, the error "timeout" indicates that the entire self-test did not complete within one-eighth of a second.

ETH.046 

Level: UE-ERROR

Short Syntax: ETH.046 IPX pkt in received_encapsulation encap ign, using configured_encapsulation encaps, nt network

Long Syntax: ETH.046 IPX pkt in encapsulation received_encapsulation ignored, using encapsulation configured_encapsulation on network network

The received_encapsulation and configured_encapsulation are one of "ETHERNET_802.3", "ETHERNET_II", "ETHERNET_802.2", or "ETHERNET_SNAP". ETHERNET_802.3 is also known as "Novell", and ETHERNET_II is also known as "Ethernet".

Cause: If only one encapsulation is being used on this network, this node's encapsulation is not the same as all other IPX nodes on the network.

Action: Configure all nodes on network to use same encapsulation.

Cause: If multiple encapsulations are being used on this network, a packet has been received from a node using an encapsulation different from this node.

ETH.047 

Level: UI-ERROR

Short Syntax: ETH.047 Eth self-test selftest_phase fld error_condition nt network

Long Syntax: ETH.047 Ethernet port self-test phase selftest_phase failed: error_condition, network network

The phases are "Reset port", "Set media selection", "Set hardware address", "Network loopback", "Enable receive", "Network loopback (output)", "Check network loopback data", "Clear loopback", "Set multicast addresses", and "Operational test".

Cause: In the "Reset port" phase, the error "Packetsize of < 1500 bytes" indicates that the interface has been provided with buffers that are too small.

Action: Correct the configuration of the system that is artificially reducing packet size below the Ethernet requirement of 1500 bytes.

Cause: In all phases, the error "No buffers" indicates that there is a severe packet buffer shortage in the router.

Action: Increase memory size, decrease size of routing tables, decrease buffer allocations to networks, decrease buffer size on configurable networks.

Cause: The error "Loop back data error" indicates that there was a data mismatch in the loopback packet.

Action: This indicates a possible hardware problem with the interface. Run diagnostics.

Cause: The error "Loop back count error" indicates that the received loopback packet was not of the same length as the transmitted one.

Action: This indicates a possible hardware problem with the interface. Run diagnostics.

Cause: The error "Loop back status error" indicates that the receive of the loopback packet had an unsuccessful error status.

Cause: In all phases, the error "Timeout" indicates that the entire self-test did not complete within one-eighth of a second.

Action: This indicates a possible hardware problem with the interface. Run diagnostics.

Cause: In the "Operational test" phase, the error "maintenance failure" indicates that the interface could not perform a successful maintenance test. (The maintenance test sends one packet and checks for carrier sense.)

Action: Check the transceiver cabling and hardware. The router is probably not connected to the Ethernet correctly, or there is a hardware failure.

ETH.048 

Level: UI-ERROR

Short Syntax: ETH.048 Eth Error adapterror_condition adapdiag_code nt network

Long Syntax: ETH.048 Ethernet adapter error: adapterror_condition, diag adapdiag_code network network

Description: An error was encountered on the Fast Ethernet port. The causes are "Error status from TB", "Invalid counter from TB", "Timeout waiting for valid link status", "Timeout waiting for auto negotiation", "Link partner does not support auto negotiation", "Address parity error detected on bus", "Unable to set multicast address. State = ", "Burnt-in UAA is used due to illegitimate LAA", and "Lost connection to link partner. phy reg01 = ".

Cause: "Error status from TB" indicates that the transparent bridging logic on the interface signalled an error condition during initialization.

Action: Issue the test command for the interface. If the message re-appears, then power the system off and on. If the message re-appears, run diagnostics on the interface. If the diagnostics indicate a similar problem, the interface card may need to be replaced.

Cause: "Invalid counter from TB" indicates the 'frames filtered' counter test failed during initialization of the transparent bridge logic.

Action: Issue the test command for the interface. If the message re-appears, then power the system off and on. If the message re-appears, run diagnostics on the interface. If the diagnostics indicate a similar problem, the interface card may need to be replaced.

Cause: "Timeout waiting for valid link status" indicates that the interface is not receiving a valid link signal from its link partner. Interface will no longer wait for the link signal. Instead it will reset the interface and resume listening for a valid link signal. This condition can occur due to the following causes: 1) Bad or incorrect length of cable from interface to its link partner. 2) Disabled or malfunctioning port on the link partner. 3) The connector(s) on the cable is bad or not properly inserted into the port(s). 4) Speed or duplex mode configured for interface is not supported by the link partner.

Action: For 1), verify that there is no discontinuity in the cable. If connected thhrough patch panels, try a direct Cat. 5 cable no more than 100 meters in length. For 2), try a different port on the link partner. Ensure that it has not been disabled. For 3), Ensure both ends of the cable are inserted all the way into the port at both ends. Also ensure that it is not a cross-wired cable. For 4), Check the capabilities of the link partner and configure the interface accordingly. Refer to the chapter on "Configuring and Monitoring the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Network Interface" for more details.

Cause: "Timeout waiting for auto negotiation" indicates that the interface is getting a valid link signal from the link partner, however the auto-negotiaion function is failing.

Action: Check the capabilities of the link partner and configure the interface accordingly. If auto-negotiation is still unsuccessful, ensure that the cable length is not greater than 100 meters. If connected via patch panels, try using a direct cable, less than 100 meters in length. Refer to the chapter on "Configuring and Monitoring the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Network Interface" for more details.

Cause: "Link partner does not support auto negotiation" indicates the interface has detected that the link partner is not capable of performing auto-negotiation.

Action: Check the capabilities of the link partner and configure the interface accordingly.

Cause: "Address parity error detected on bus" indicates that the interface has detected a parity error.

Action: If this message occurs more than once, issue the test command for the interface. If the message re-appears, then power the system off and on. If the message re-appears, run diagnostics on the interface. If the diagnostics indicate a similar problem, the interface card may need to be replaced.

Cause: "Unable to set multicast address" indicates that the interface was unable to set the filter which will permit receipt of frames destined to a certain multicast address. This can happen when the interface is unable to suspend the hardware to perform the operation.

Action: Issue the "Test" command for this interface, or disable and re-enable the interface. This will cause the hardware for this interface to be reset and allow storage of the multicast filter masks.

Cause: "Burnt-in UAA is used due to illegitimate LAA" indicates that the user specified locally administered MAC address is invalid. The universal address assigned to the interface will be used instead.

Action: If the locally adminstered address must be used on this interface, change the configuration providing a legal locally adminstered MAC address and restart the system.

Cause: "Lost connection to link partner" indicates that the interface has detected loss of a valid link signal from its link partner. This can occur under the following conditions: 1) The cable connector is removed or not properly inserted at either ends 2) The cable has been damaged. 3) The link partner is not sending valid link signals. (Note this can be a temporary condition from a link partner ).

Action: For 1) Ensure that both the connectors are properly inserted. 2) Ensure that the cable has not been harmed. 3) Ensure that the link partner is functioning normally.

ETH.049 

Level: C-INFO

Short Syntax: ETH.049 Eth Info. adaptinfo_condition adapinfo_data nt network

Long Syntax: ETH.049 Ethernet adapter info: adaptinfo_condition, Data: adapinfo_data network network

Description: Information notification for the Fast Ethernet interface. The reasons are "Performing Unicast frame filtering in software. State = ", "TB has been enabled. State = ", "Auto Negotiation is complete. RC = ", "Interface operating at speed (Mbps) = ", "Interface operating at half duplex. RC = ", "Interface operating at full duplex. RC = ", "Configured speed does not match neg speed. RC = ", "Configured duplex does not match neg duplex. RC = ", "Resetting the interface. State = ", "Issued -purge all entries- command to TB. State = ", "Issued -age- command to TB. Current Age = ", "Interface close command received. State = ", "Add multicast address command received. State = ", "Set LAA MAC address command received. State = ", "Setting new age for TB. New age = ", and "CAM is full. State = ".

Cause: "Performing Unicast frame filtering in software" indicates that in addition to the adapter performing transparent bridging, the device driver will also discard any unicast frames received, which do not have a destination MAC matching the local MAC address. Filtering is being performed by the device driver, because the system bridging function has placed this interface in blocking mode.

Action: None.

Cause: "TB has been enabled" indicates that transparent bridging support has been enabled on the interface. The interface will now filter incoming packets.

Action: None.

Cause: "Auto Negotiation is complete" indicates the interface has successfully completed auto-negotiating with its link partner.

Action: None.

Cause: "Interface operating at speed (Mbps) " indicates the speed at which the interface is operating with its link partner.

Action: None.

Cause: "Interface operating at half duplex" indicates that the interface is operating in half-duplex mode with its link partner.

Action: None.

Cause: "Interface operating at full duplex" indicates that the interface is operating in full-duplex mode with its link partner.

Action: None.

Cause: "Configured speed does not match hub speed" indicates that the interface is operating at a speed different from the one configured in the system.

Action: If the operating speed is not desired, then change the value specified for speed in the configuration. Refer to the chapter on "Configuring and Monitoring the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Network Interface" for more details.

Cause: "Configured duplex does not match hub duplex" indicates that the interface is operating in a mode different from the one configured in the system.

Action: If the operating mode is not desired, then change the value specified for mode in the configuration. Refer to the chapter on "Configuring and Monitoring the 10/100 Mbps Ethernet Network Interface" for more details.

Cause: "Resetting the interface" indicates that the interface is undergoing a reset operation. This is always done whenever the interface is enabled or is automatically trying to enable itself. The interface will automatically attempt to enable itself when it detects loss of connectivity on the link or when the system has asked it to perform a self test due to IO failure.

Action: None.

Cause: "Issued -purge all entries- command to TB" indicates that all learnt addresses in the interface's tables will be deleted. The interface will begin re-learning MAC address as it receives frames. This is a normal operation as the bridge learns its topology and updates its age value.

Action: None.

Cause: "Issued -age- command to TB. Current Age = " indicates that the inteface will delete all MAC addresses from its tables from which it has has not heard since the previous age event. The age value corresponds to the value configured to the bridging protocol.

Action: None.

Cause: "Interface close command received" indicates the interface has been requested to cease all operations. Transmit and receive functions will be suspended until the interface is reactivated.

Action: None.

Cause: "Add multicast address command received" indicates that the interface has been given a multicast address to be used in filtering frames. Any frames with destination address equal to the specified multicast address will be filtered and discarded.

Action: None.

Cause: "Set LAA MAC address command received" indicates that the interface will overide the use of the assigned Universal MAC address with the locally adminstered address obtained from the configuration.

Action: None.

Cause: "Setting new age for TB. New age = " indicates that the interface has been provided with a new value for aging out old MAC addresses from its tables. The new age indicated is a hexadecimal value.

Action: None.

Cause: "CAM is full" indicates that the address table on the interface is full, and there is no room to learn any new source addresses. The interface driver will automatically age out old entries when this condition occurs to make room for more new addresses.

Action: None.

Cause: "Burnt-in UAA is used due to illegitimate LAA" indicates that the user specified locally administered MAC address is invalid. The universal address assigned to the interface will be used instead.

Action: If the locally adminstered address must be used on this interface, change the configuration providing a legal locally adminstered MAC address and restart the system.

Description: One of the multicast addresses enabled on this interface is one of the multicast addresses in the range 01-80-C2-00-00-00 through 01-80-C2-00-00-0F.

Cause: Possibly one of these addresses that is being used by a protocol where the user can select the multicast address, such as the ES-IS and IS-IS protocols in ISO.

Action: Don't use the reserved addresses.
