“90% of enterprises have begun or plan

Bring Your Own Device initiatives‖ IDC

“By 2013, over 90% of

network data traffic will

be video.”

“The number of shipped tablets is

set to jump to 147.2 million in

2015.” Forrester

“15% of professional PCs will be

managed under a hosted virtual

desktop model by 2014‖ Gartner

“Sales of smartphones and

tablets are now greater than

all PCs, including notebooks.”

“One third of corporations

say they are using video at

least once per week.”

• Refers to the separation of the physical endpoint from the logical desktop

• Endpoints may be variety of devices; applications are hosted where ever the best user experience is offered (locally at endpoint or data center)

• Access from the endpoint to the logical desktop is delivered through the network

Problem definition This message indicates an error in the port ASIC. The first [dec]

is the module number. The second [dec] is the ASIC port

number. This error message could possibly be due to either

software or a hardware issue.

Problem definition (for SYS-3-

PKTBUFFERFAIL_ERRDIS)

This error message is caused because of a hardware problem

(parity error) on one of the ASICs, where the disabled ports are

directly connected. The errdisabling of the ports is a

precautionary action of the switch after it receives a parity error

message

Impact Network connectivity to the ports of the module will be lost until

this error is resolved

Troubleshooting steps To recover the module or ports from coil ASIC errors, perform

the following steps:

1. Disable and enable the ports; if the

error is not resolved by re-enabling the ports then more testing is

required on the whole module. Depending on module# and

which ports are effected, use configuration mode and do the

following:

Conf t

Interface range {module#}/{intf start} – {intf end}

Shut

No shut

2. Set the bootup online diagnostics

level to complete using the configuration mode command:

Conf t

diagnostic bootup level complete

3. Soft-reset the module by issuing the

following command:

hw-module module {module#} reset

4. Perform a Hard-reset of the module

by physically reseating the card. Alternatively, issue the following

global configuration commands:

conf t

no power enable module {module#}

power enable module {module#}

NOTE: Remember to set the diagnostics level back to minimal

by issuing the configuration mode command :

conf t

diagnostic bootup level minimal

5. If the above steps fail to recover the

ports, consider replacing the faulty module.

Common Issues on Catalyst 6500/6000 Series Switches
