SLOT 2:00:00:09: %SYS.5.RESTART: System restarted .. (remainder of output omitted)

The type of failure that has occurred in the show context slot 2 example is identified by the underlined SIG= value. The three most common types of line card failures are:

Software Forced Crash (SIG=23)

Bus Error (SIG=10)

Cache Parity Exception (SIG=20)

In the example above, the line card has failed and has caused a reload because of a software forced crash exception. Once you have determined the cause and collected the necessary output, you can check for any caveats in your Cisco IOS software release using the Bug Toolkit (available to registered Cisco.com users only).

Checking the Current Status of the Line Card

Once you have determined if the problems are caused by system errors in the log or an actual crash, it is important to check the current status of the line card to see if it has recovered from the failure. The status of individual line cards can be identified either by examining the alphanumeric LEDs located on the front of the line card, or by issuing the show led command.
