EC Messages
Error Message EC-5-CANNOT_BUNDLE2: [chars] is not compatible with [chars] and will
be suspended ([chars]).
Explanation The interface has different interface attributes than the other ports in the EtherChannel.
For the interface to join the bundle (EtherChannel), change the interface attributes to match the
EtherChannel attributes. The first [chars] is the interface to be bundled, the second [chars] is the
physical interface (a switch port or a routed port) that is already in the bundle, and the third [chars]
is the reason for the incompatibility.
Recommended Action Change the interface attributes to match the EtherChannel attributes.
Error Message EC-5-CANNOT_BUNDLE_LACP: [chars] is not compatible with aggregators in
channel [dec] and cannot attach to them ([chars]).
Explanation The port has different port attributes than the port c hannel or ports within the port
channel. [chars] is the incompatible port. [chars] is the short interface name, such as Gi1/0/1 on a
Catalyst 3750 switch, [dec] is the channel group number, and the last [chars] is the reason.
Recommended Action For the port to join the bundle, change the port attributes so that they match the
port.
Error Message EC-5-COMPATIBLE: [chars] is compatible with port-channel members.
Explanation A port was not operational because its attributes were different from those of the port
channel or ports within the port channel. The system has detected that the attributes of the port now
match the port-channel attributes. [chars] is the affected port.
Recommended Action No action is required.
Error Message EC-5-DONTBNDL: [chars] suspended: incompatible remote port with
[chars]
Explanation The configuration of the remote port is different from the con figuration of other remote
ports in the bundle. A port can only join the bundle when the configuration of the lo cal port and the
configuration of the remote port are the same as other ports already in the bundle. The first [chars]
is the name of the local interface that is being suspended, and th e second [chars] is the name of the
local interface that is already bundled .
Recommended Action Make sure that the configuration of the remote ports is the same for all ports in
the bundle.
Error Message EC-5-ERRPROT: Channel protocol mismatch for interface [chars] in group
[dec]: the interface can not be added to the channel group.
Explanation The interface cannot be added to the channel group with the specified mode. [chars] is
the interface, and [dec] is the channel group.
Recommended Action Change the channel group or the mode f or the interface.
