PLATFORM_CAT2950-3-REG_READ_FAILURE: Register read failed for [chars] in [chars]

Explanation This message means that the register read failed for register [chars] in [chars]. An attempt to read a valid location in the internal chip register failed. This could be due to a hardware defect.

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-REG_WRITE_FAILURE: Register write failed for register [chars] in [chars]

Explanation This message means that an attempt to write to a location in the internal chip register failed. This might be caused by writing to an invalid register location or by a defect in the hardware.

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_TEST_FAILURE: PCI address space test failed, Wrote [hex], read [hex], re-read [hex].

Explanation This message means that, during POST, the PCI address space for the ASIC was not mapped correctly. This might occur because of a system PCI-bus problem. The first [hex], the second [hex], and the third [hex] are test data.

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-SCHAN_OP_FAILURE: S-channel operation timeout for opcode [chars].

Explanation This message means that there was a failure to read or write to an ASIC register or a memory location because of an ASIC internal bus failure. [chars] is the operation code.

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-SCHAN_READ_REG_FAILURE: S-channel operation read register failure at addr [hex].

Explanation This message means that there was a failure to read the ASIC registers, which might occur because of an invalid register address or internal bus failure. [hex] is the register address.

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
