PLATFORM_CAT2950-3-MEM_WRITE_FAILURE: Write memory failed for memory [chars] at index [dec].

Explanation This message means that an attempt to write to a location in the internal chip memory failed, which might occur because of an invalid memory location or an ASIC defect. [chars] is the name of the ASIC memory table, and [dec] is the table index.

Response If the message recurs, find out more about the error by using the show tech-supportprivileged EXEC command and by copying the error message exactly as it appears on the console or system log and entering it in the Output Interpreter tool. Use the Bug Toolkit to look for similar reported problems. For more information about these online tools , see the “Error Message Traceback Reports” section on page .9

PLATFORM_CAT2950-3-MIIM_OP_FAILURE: Unable to read PHY register at addr [hex] for phy id [hex].

Explanation This message means that there was a failure to read from or write to a PHY register on the switch, which might occur because of a defect in the media independent interface (MII)/Gigabit media independent interface (GMII) switch interface. The first [hex] is the register address, and the second [hex] is the PHY ID.

Response If the message recurs, find out more about the error by using the show tech-supportprivileged EXEC command and by copying the error message exactly as it appears on the console or system log and entering it in the Output Interpreter tool. Use the Bug Toolkit to look for similar reported problems. For more information about these online tools , see the “Error Message Traceback Reports” section on page .9

PLATFORM_CAT2950-3-PCI_FIND_FAILURE: The number of asics expected were [dec], PCI bus scan found [dec].

Explanation This message means that, during the switch driver initialization, the switch found an incorrect number of ASICs on the PCI bus or did not find any ASICs with a correct PCI value. This might occur because of a system PCI bus defect or an incompatible software version running on the switch. The first [dec] is the number of ASICs that the switch should find, and the second [dec] is the actual number of ASICs that the switch found.

Response Find out more about the error by using the show tech-supportprivileged EXEC command and by copying the error message exactly as it appears on the console or system log and entering it in the Output Interpreter tool. Use the Bug Toolkit to look for similar reported problems. For more information about these online tools , see the “Error Message Traceback Reports” section on page .9

PLATFORM_CAT2950-3-PCI_INIT_FAILURE: The PCI address space initialization failed.

Explanation This message means that, during the switch driver initialization, the PCI address space for the ASIC could not be initialized, which might occur because of a system PCI-bus problem.

Response Find out more about the error by using the show tech-supportprivileged EXEC command and by copying the error message exactly as it appears on the console or system log and entering it in the Output Interpreter tool. Use the Bug Toolkit to look for similar reported problems. For more information about these online tools , see the “Error Message Traceback Reports” section on page .9
