Error Message    %TUN-4-RECURDOWN: [chars] temporarily disabled due to recursive routing

Explanation    When routing the same payload protocol over a carrier protocol (tunneling IP over IP, for example), it is possible to misconfigure your network so that you will try to route to the tunnel destination address via the tunnel. This is usually caused by a misconfiguration of the tunnel or a temporary instability due to route flapping elsewhere in your network. It is important to take steps to ensure that routing information between the carrier networks and the payload networks is not allowed to mix. If the router discovers a recursive routing problem, it will temporarily shut down the tunnel interface for a few minutes so that the situation that is causing this problem can resolve itself as routing protocols converge. If the problem is caused by misconfiguration, the link may oscillate indefinitely.

Recommended Action    No action required.

Explanation    A Stacker compression algorithm internal error or shortage of buffer space was encountered during a compression operation. This should never happen.

Recommended Action    Copy the message exactly as it appears, and report it your technical support representative.

Error Message    %X25-4-LARGEPKSIZE: Interface [chars], [chars] packet sizes [dec]/[dec] too large; lower values will be negotiated.

Explanation    The interface's default packet sizes or outgoing packet size facility values are too large to be carried by Link Access Procedure, Balanced (LAPB).

Recommended Action    The router will negotiate lower packet size values automatically. The LAPB N1 value should be increased. For example, for an X.25 maximum packet size of 1024, modulo 8 X.25 operation will add 3 bytes of overhead and modulo 8 LAPB operation will add 4 bytes of overhead (the two bytes of CRC are defined to be included). This means that N1 must be at least 1031 bytes * 8 = 8248.

Error Message    %X25-3-LCIBOGUS: in x25_timer NULL lci-idb [hex]

Explanation    An internal software error occurred.

Error Message    %X25-4-PARTIALMAP: Interface [chars], [chars] encapsulation call from [chars] partially mapped to [chars]

Explanation    An incoming X.25 call specified a protocol that was assigned to a multiprotocol map; the VC will not be able to carry the full set of protocols specified by the map.

Recommended Action    Modify the configuration of the router or the far host to match the encapsulation method used.

Error Message    %X25-5-PBPDBIT: Interface [chars] LCI [dec] PBP Compression does not support X25 D bit, X25_COMPLAIN_LEVEL

Explanation    Compression is not enabled because D-bit support is configured for the LCI.

Recommended Action    Reconfigure without D-bit support, or do not attempt to run with compression.

Error Message    %X25-5-PBPHOLDQ: Interface [chars] LCI [dec] X25 Hold queue needs to be at least default size, X25_COMPLAIN_LEVEL

Explanation    An attempt was made to configure the X.25 hold queue to less than the minimum value.

Recommended Action    Configure the X.25 hold queue to be 10 or more.

Error Message    %X25-5-PBPNOEND: Interface [chars] LCI [dec] End system not configed for X25 PBP, X25_COMPLAIN_LEVEL

Recommended Action    Reconfigure the routers so that only the end routers in the network perform compression and decompression.

Error Message    %X25-3-PVCBAD: Interface [chars], PVC [dec], [chars]

Explanation    A switched PVC cannot be connected. The final [chars] text string in the message represents the state of the PVC. These text strings can also appear in show x25-vc output. For more information, refer to the show x25-vc documentation in the Router Products Command Reference publication.

Recommended Action    Validate the configuration of the PVCs at both ends of the connection, and reconfigure them if necessary.

Error Message    %X25-3-PVCDELETE: LCI for PVC [dec] being deleted!

Explanation    A PVC was using an x25 map entry that was deleted or the interface configuration changed to make the PVC number illegal; this forces the deletion of the PVC.

Recommended Action    No action required. Note that some attached equipment may object to an inability to use the deleted PVC.

Error Message    %X25-4-RANGEUNUSED: Interface [chars], [chars] VC range
unused; set limits to zero

Explanation    An outgoing-only or incoming-only virtual circuit range exactly overlaps the two-way virtual circuit range. This was the former method for specifying that a virtual circuit range was not used. The current method is to set the range limits to zero.

Recommended Action    Use the privileged copy running-config startup-config command to write the configuration to memory. This will store the modified (zero) range limits.

Error Message    %X25-3-SIZEBAD: Interface [chars] LCI [dec] Decompression size error

Recommended Action    Copy the message exactly as it appears, and report it your technical support representative.

Error Message    %X25-4-VCLOSTSYNC: Interface [chars], VC [dec] TCP connection [chars]

Explanation    An X.25 circuit that is being tunneled over a TCP connection between routers was cleared ungracefully. The last [chars] text string in the message can take one of two forms. If the text string is "closed unexpectedly," the router at the remote end of the connection was rebooted, or the connection failed. If the text string is "connection corrupted," it is likely that the connection was made to a router running an older software release.

Recommended Action    If the text string is "closed unexpectedly," reestablish the connection after the remote router or intervening network is operational. If the text string is "connection corrupted," upgrade the router at the other end of the connection to a more recent software release.

Error Message    %X25-3-VERSIONBAD: Interface [chars] LCI [dec] Compression Version mismatch. Expected [hex]; received [hex]

Explanation    An internal software error occurred. The PBP header has a mismatched version field. The version is checked on each received packet.
