X.25 Diagnostic Codes

X.25 Diagnostic Codes

The two tables in this appendix contain information about X.25 diagnostic codes including:

Table A-1 describes the differences between Cisco's implementation of certain X.25 network-generated, "international problem" diagnostic fields and the definitions provided in Annex E of CCITT Recommendation X.25. The complete diagnostics listing is provided in Annex E's Table E-1/X.25.This translation table lists the decimal value of the diagnostic number, the CCITT description, and the Cisco definition.


Annex E International Problem Diagnostic Code Differences
Decimal Value Annex E, Rec. X.25 Diagnostic Description Cisco Proprietary Definition of Diagnostic Codes
112 International problem Not used.
113 Remote network problem Not used.
114 International protocol problem Not used.
115 International link out of order Indicates one of the following
failures: failed when initializing a switched PVC; in TCP tunneling, failed when initiating or resetting a PVC; or, failed when PAD PVC
circuit is being initiated or reset.
116 International link busy Not used.
117 Transit network facility
problem
Not used.
118 Remote network facility
problem
Not used.
119 International routing problem Indicates the following failure: in TCP tunneling of X.25 when session is closed by network.
120 Temporary routing problem Indicates the following failure: when tunneling X.25 through TCP/IP and the remote network is identified as unreachable.
121 Unknown called DNIC Not used.
122 Maintenance action (may apply to maintenance action within a national network For CMNS, indicates the following: router fails to route the call due to setup or unreachability of destination; when VC is cleared using the
clear x25-vc EXEC command.

The following table is summarized from the 1988 CCITT Recommendation X.25
Tables 20/X.25, 21/X.25, 22/X.25, 23/X.25, and E-1/X.25. The International Telecommunication Union holds the copyright to the CCITT Recommendations as published in the CCITT Blue Book Volume VIII--Fascicle VIII.2, "Data Communication Networks: Services and Facilities, Interfaces. Recommendations X.1-X.32," Geneva 1989, ISBN 92-61-03671-6.

This table allows users to easily interpret the cause and diagnostic fields reported in various packets. Cisco equipment does not generate all of the codes listed, nor is the protocol affected by the cause or diagnostic code reported in a packet. Note that Cisco equipment reports cause and diagnostic fields in their decimal representations.
