Error Messages

This appendix lists the error messages displayed by the Cisco 6510 Service Selection Gateway, explains the meaning of the message, and presents a suggested course of action to fix the error.

Alphabetical List of Error Messages

The following list shows each Cisco 6510 error message, in alphabetical order. Some of the messages are console messages, and other messages are syslog messages. Syslog messages are indicated with the notation "syslog message" in parentheses. An explanation of the possible cause of the error and a suggested course of action are provided for each message.


Error Message   
AcctMessage::AcctMessage: Memory allocation error (syslog message)

Explanation    The system does not have enough memory to process an accounting message.

Recommended Action    Try rebooting the system. If the message appears again, the physical memory on the unit may have become corrupted.


Error Message   
Accounting: Failed to start Accounting Retransmit Queue!

Explanation    The accounting process did not have enough memory to process a retransmit queue.

Recommended Action    Try rebooting the system. If the message appears again, the physical memory on the unit may have become corrupted.


Error Message   
Cannot open filename

Explanation    The burnimg command was issued, but the Cisco 6510 was unable to open the indicated image file.

Recommended Action    Make sure that the disk containing the image file is properly inserted into the Cisco 6510's drive. Check to make sure that you specified the correct filename for the image file with the burnimg command. If the file still cannot be read, the file might have become corrupted. Contact Cisco to obtain another copy of the update image file.


Error Message   
Connect failed

Explanation    The failover process failed to connect to the standby unit. Possible causes are: (1) the failover cable is not connected correctly; (2) the standby unit is not powered on and functional; (3) the failover configuration specified the wrong IP address for the standby unit.

Recommended Action    Verify that the failover connector is correctly connected to the failover port on both the active and the standby unit. Verify that the standby unit is powered on and is functional. Make sure that the IP address for the standby unit has been correctly set with the failover set command.


Error Message   
ERROR: Failed to load parameters from Flash! procedure_name (syslog message)

Explanation    If this message appears the first time that you start the Cisco 6510, this is not cause for concern. If the message occurs during system initialization after the system configuration has been saved using the config save command, this indicates a serious hardware problem.


Error Message   
ERROR: Out of memory! procedure_name (syslog message)

Explanation    A Cisco 6510 internal procedure did not have enough memory to execute.

Recommended Action    Reboot the Cisco 6510. If the message reoccurs, this indicates that the physical memory on the system might be corrupted.


Error Message   
Exception received. Reboot the VIP Box ...(syslog message)

Explanation    This error indicates a serious hardware problem.

Recommended Action    Reboot the Cisco 6510. If the message occurs again, contact your support representative.


Error Message   
Failed to burn Bios image_filename into flash memory (syslog message)

Explanation    You issued the burnimg command to save the image file to the BIOS, but the operation failed.

Recommended Action    Try the operation again. If the error persists, contact your support representative.


Error Message   
Failed: Invalid IP address (command or parameter)

Explanation    You entered a command or configuration parameter that specifies an IP address, but the IP address was not in the proper format.

Recommended Action    Enter the command without a parameter value to get instructions on the proper format for IP addresses.


Error Message   
Failover: Failed to Switch to Active.

Explanation    You entered the failover switchover command, but the unit failed to switch from the standby state to the active state.

Recommended Action    Verify failover is enabled. Verify failover status on both units. If everything looks correct, enter failover cpconfig on the active unit and make sure the update occurs on the standby unit. Then, enter failover switchover again.


Error Message   
Failover: Failed to Switch to Standby.

Explanation    You entered the failover switchover command, but the unit failed to switch from the active state to the standby state.

Recommended Action    Verify failover is enabled. Verify failover status on both units. If everything looks correct, enter failover cpconfig on the active unit and make sure the update occurs on the standby unit. Then, enter failover switchover again.


Error Message   
Need file name for burning to flash.

Explanation    You entered the burnimg command, but did not specify a filename for the image file.

Recommended Action    Specify the filename for the image file with the -f parameter (burnimg -f filename). For information on the burnimg command, see "burnimg" in the "Command Reference" chapter.


Error Message   
Need syslog server IP address for syslog output. Enter logtarget \? for syntax.

Explanation    You entered logtarget target_num -t syslog, but did not specify an IP address for the syslog server.

Recommended Action    Re-enter the command and specify an IP address for the syslog server (logtarget target_num -t syslog -d ip_address). For information on the logtarget command, see "logtarget" in the "Command Reference" chapter.


Error Message   
Need to specify either tty or syslog. Check logtarget for syntax.

Explanation    You entered the logtarget command but did not specify a target with the -t parameter.

Recommended Action    Re-enter the command and specify a logging target with the -t parameter (logtarget target_num -t target). For information on the logtarget command, see "logtarget" in the "Command Reference" chapter.


Error Message   
Need to specify IP or Stats.

Explanation    You entered the failover show command but did not specify IP or Stats.

Recommended Action    Re-enter the command and specify IP or Stats (failover show IP or failover show stats). For information on the failover show command, see "failover show" in the "Command Reference" chapter.


Error Message   
RADIUS Accounting: NCP not responding

Explanation    The User Control Point (UCP) is not responding to Remote Access Dial-in User Service (RADIUS) accounting requests.

Recommended Action    Check the Cisco 6510 configuration for RADIUSRemotePort and make sure that you have specified the correct port number for the UCP's RADIUS accounting service. If the port number is correct, verify that the UCP accounting service is running. If the problem persists, there is most likely a network problem affecting the connection between the Cisco 6510 and the UCP.


Error Message   
Reading failed. file size = size, bytes read = bytes

Explanation    You issued the burnimg command to update the system, but the system could not read the image file. The image file might have become corrupted on the disk.

Recommended Action    Verify that the image file on the upgrade disk is readable. Contact your support representative if you need to obtain another upgrade file.


Error Message   
Save Failed. (syslog message)

Explanation    You issued the config save command, but the system was unable to save the configuration.

Recommended Action    Try re-entering the command. If the error reoccurs, contact your support representative.


Error Message   
TTY does not require IP address.

Explanation    You entered the logtarget command and specified tty with the -t parameter and an IP address with the -d parameter.

Recommended Action    Reissue the command without specifying the -d parameter. An IP address is not required when the target is tty. For information on the logtarget command, see "logtarget" in the "Command Reference" chapter.


Error Message
