Explanation Entering a new ATM address template for some LANE component caused the specified LANE server or bus to drop all clients and restart.

Recommended Action Informational message only. No action required.

Error Message %LANE-3-NOILMI: ILMI service registration failed

Explanation The Interim Local Management Interface (ILMI) feature is not included in the software build running on the router.

Recommended Action Reload router with software that includes the ILMI feature.

Error Message %LANE-3-NOINT: <interface> still destroying old sub-interface

Explanation An attempt was made to create a new subinterface while a previous version of the subinterface was still being destroyed.

Recommended Action Wait a minute and try again. If failure still occurs, try shutting down the main interface. Rebooting may be required to recover in extreme cases.

Error Message %LANE-3-NOREGATM: <interface> cannot register <ATM address> with ILMI

Explanation An attempt to register the given ATM address with the ATM switch failed. This failure can occur because the ATM switch is down or misconfigured. The registration will be retried.

Recommended Action If the situation persists after a number of attempts, and the switch is up, the configuration of the switch and router must be examined. The most likely cause is that ATM address being registered is not compatible with the parameters -- for example, the ATM address prefix -- configured in the switch. Correct the configuration.

Error Message %LANE-3-NOVCD: VCDs exhausted

Explanation When trying to create PVC 0/17, the router ran out of PVC resources.

Recommended Action The number of PVCs can be increased with the atm maxvc command.

Error Message %LANE-3-PVCBAD: <interface> elan <ELAN name> PVC vcd [dec] has no [chars] assigned

Explanation The characters in chars (see above display) will be either "ATM address" or "LECID." This message is reported when a permanent virtual circuit (PVC) is created without all the necessary information included in the lane pvc command.

Recommended Action Include a lane pvc command with the information appropriate for the PVC.

Error Message %LANE-3-PVCLECS: Unable to create PVC [dec]/[dec]

Explanation An attempt to create the named PVC failed. The most likely reason is that a PVC was defined on the same or another subinterface with the same virtual path identifier-virtual channel identifier (VPI-VCI) pair, but with a different encapsulation or usage type.

Recommended Action Correct the configuration.

Error Message %LANE-3-REGSTATE: ILMI event in state [dec]

Explanation An internal error occurred.

Error Message %LANE-3-TYPECHG: Attempt to change ELAN type

Explanation Both the LANE client and the LANE Server/BUS may have an ELAN type specified in the configuration via the lane server-bus and lane client commands as either Ethernet or Token Ring. If both, specify the type; the type cannot be changed by re-entering just one of the commands.

Recommended Action Use the no lane server-bus command to delete the server-bus or the no lane client command to delete the client. Then, the other of the two commands can be re-entered with a new type. Finally, re-enter the deleted command with the new type.

Error Message %LANE-5-UPDOWN: [chars] [chars] [chars]: [chars] changed state to [chars]

Explanation A software or hardware error occurred.

Recommended Action Check the serial line and the devices attached to the line.

Error Message %LAPB-4-FRAMEERR: Interface [chars], Frame error: CF [hex], VS[dec] [char] VR [dec], Reason [hex]

Explanation A FRMR frame was received, indicating that a protocol violation was detected. The Reason field will be interpreted by generating INFOBAD, CTRLBAD, N1TOOBIG, or INVNR messages immediately after this message; refer to the explanations for these messages for more information.

Recommended Action The protocol will recover by resetting the service. This will disrupt any network service on top of LAPB (for example, X.25 virtual circuits will be cleared). Follow the recommended action for any error message following the FRMR reports; if service becomes unacceptable, check the serial line and its attached devices.

Error Message %LAPB-4-INFOBAD: Interface [chars], Info field not permitted

Explanation A received FRMR frame reported that an information field was present in a frame where no information field is allowed.

Recommended Action Check the serial line and the device attached to the line.

Error Message %LAPB-4-INVNR: Interface [chars], Invalid NR value

Explanation A received FRMR reported a frame with an invalid N(R) value.

Recommended Action Verify that the equipment attached to the serial line is configured with the same K value (maximum number of outstanding I frames).

Error Message %LAPB-4-N1TOOBIG: Interface [chars], N1 too large

Explanation A received FRMR reported an information frame that was too long.

Recommended Action Verify that the equipment attached to the serial line is configured with the same N1 value. N1 is in bits and includes the entire frame plus 16 bits of CRC. However, some equipment may require configuration in octets, the omission of the two CRC octets, or the omission of the three octets of LAPB control information.

Error Message %LAPB-2-NOBUF: Interface [chars], no buffer available to [chars]

Explanation There was insufficient memory for the LAPB protocol engine to send a message.

Recommended Action This message is acceptable if it occurs infrequently, because the LAPB protocol is designed to handle loss of frames. Frequent occurrences can cause disruption of service. The system can be configured to ease memory demands or, if conditions warrant, the system can be upgraded to a larger memory configuration.

Error Message %LAPB-3-NOINPIDB: Input idb not set %LAPB-3-NULLPAK: Interface [chars], NULL packet ptr, rvr [dec],vs [dec], vr [dec]

LAN extension error messages

Error Message %LEX-3-NOTSENT: Serial line down, [chars] : [chars] not sent

Explanation The serial line went down, and the specified command was not sent to the LAN Extender.

Recommended Action Determine why the serial line went down. For example, was the cable was pulled, or the LAN Extender powered off? The command will automatically be re-sent once the serial interface is operational.

Error Message %LEX-3-RCMDNAK: [chars] : [chars] could not be processed by LAN Extender

Explanation The LAN Extender could not process the command from the host router. Possible causes are:

The LAN Extender ran out of memory.
The message from the host router is malformed.
A request to write flash occurred while the LAN Extender was busy writing flash for a previous request.
The size of a file to be downloaded is greater than the amount of flash memory available.

Recommended Action If the command was copy tftp lex unit-number or copy flash lex unit-number, make sure that the correct file, that is, a FLEX image file, is specified. Only a single copy request can be handled at one time. If the problem was caused by a temporary out-of-memory condition on the LAN Extender, re-enter the command.

Error Message %LEX-3-RCMDREJ: [chars] : [chars] could not be processed by LAN Extender

Explanation The LAN Extender did not recognize the code for the specified remote command. This might occur if the user is running old LAN Extender software with newer host router software that has support for new LEX remote commands.

Recommended Action Update the LAN Extender software.

Error Message %LEX-3-TIMEOUT: Retry count exceeded for [chars] : [chars]

Explanation The host router re-sent the given message as many times as specified in the lex retry-count command configuration variable, without receiving an acknowledgment from the LAN Extender. At this point, the host router gives up trying to send this particular remote command message.

Recommended Action Use the LEDs on the LAN Extender to determine if it is operational. Confirm that the lex timeout configuration command is set appropriately for the speed of the link.
