Chapter 2. Message and Recovery Procedures 19
EC-5-CANNOT_BUNDLE_QOS: Removed [chars] from port channel because a QoS policy cannot be supported
across multiple DFC cards.
Explanation This message means the specified port cannot join the port channel because the QoS
policy attached to the port channel cannot support the multiple Distributed Forwarding Cards (DFCs).
[chars] identifies the port that cannot join the port channel.
Response Place the port in another port channel or remove the QoS policy from the port channel.
EC-5-CANNOT_BUNDLE1: Port-channel [chars] is admin-down, port [chars] will remain stand-alone.
Explanation This message means that the EtherChannel is administratively shut down. The first [chars]
is the EtherChannel interface, and the second [chars] is the physical interface.
Response Enable the EtherChannel by using the no shutdown interface configuration command.
EC-5-CANNOT_BUNDLE2: [chars] is not compatible with [chars] and will be suspended ([chars]).
Explanation This message means that the interface has different interface attributes than 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 that is already in the bundle, and the third [chars] is the reason for the incompatibility.
Response Change the interface attributes to match the EtherChannel attributes.
EC-5-ERRPROT: Channel protocol mismatch for interface [chars] in group [dec]: the interface cannot be added to
the channel group.
Explanation This message means that the interface cannot be added to the channel group by using the
specified mode.
Response Change the channel group or the mode for the interface.
EC-5-ERRPROT2: Command rejected: the interface [chars] is already part of a channel with a different type of
protocol enabled.
Explanation This message means that the interface cannot be selected for the specified protocol
because it is already part of an EtherChannel group with a different protocol enabled.
Response Remove the interface from the EtherChannel group.
EC-5-ERRPROT3: Command rejected: the interface [chars] is already part of a channel.
Explanation This message means that the interface cannot be unselected for the specified protocol
because it is already part of an EtherChannel group.
Response Remove the interface from the EtherChannel group.
