Error Messages

System Error Messages

This section lists and describes Cisco IOS system error messages. The system software sends these error messages to the console (and, optionally, to a logging server on another system) during operation. Not all system error messages indicate problems with your system. Some are purely informational, while others may help diagnose problems with communications lines, internal hardware, or the system software.

How to Read System Error Messages

The messages are organized according to the particular system facility that produces the messages. The facility sections appear in alphabetical order, and within each facility section, messages are listed alphabetically by mnemonic. Each error message is followed by an explanation and a recommended action.

System error messages begin with a percent sign (%) and are structured as follows:

%FACILITY-SUBFACILITY-SEVERITY-MNEMONIC: Message-text

FACILITY is a code consisting of two or more uppercase letters that indicate the facility to which the message refers. A facility can be a hardware device, a protocol, or a module of the system software. Table 15 lists the system facilities codes.

SUBFACILITY is a code that is relevant only in Channel Interface Processor (CIP) error messages. There are currently no CIP error messages in this section.

SEVERITY is a single-digit code from 0 to 7 that reflects the severity of the condition. The lower the number, the more serious the situation. Table 16 lists the severity levels.

MNEMONIC is a code that uniquely identifies the error message.

Message-text is a text string describing the condition. This portion of the message sometimes contains detailed information about the event, including terminal port numbers, network addresses, or addresses that correspond to locations in the system memory address space. Because the information in these variable fields changes from message to message, it is represented here by short strings enclosed in square brackets ([ ]). A decimal number, for example, is represented as [dec]. Table 17 lists the representations of variable fields and the type of information in them.

Error Message Severity Levels
Level Description
0 - emergency System unusable
1 - alert Immediate action needed
2 - critical Critical condition
3 - error Error condition
4 - warning Warning condition
5 - notification Normal but significant condition
6 - informational Informational message only
7 - debugging Appears during debugging only

Error message severity levels correspond to the keywords assigned by the logging global configuration commands that define where and at what level these messages appear. The default is to log messages to the console at the debugging level (7). For more information, see the system configuration chapter and descriptions of the logging command in the appropriate Cisco IOS configuration guide and command reference publications.

Recommended Action    Gather information about the line card and file a DDTs bug report.


Error Message   
%LCINFO-3-CRASH: Line card in slot [int] crashed

Explanation    The line card in the slot indicated crashed and sent a CRASH_START message to the GRP. The GRP is now waiting for the rest of the crash information from the line card to be sent via the MBus (stack trace, context, version, etc.). This should happen in a few milliseconds after receiving the CRASH_START message. The GRP software has not otherwise been notified of the line card crash--that will happen after all the crash information has been sent to the GRP. In the unlikely event that the subsequent crash information messages are not received by the GRP within a reasonable time limit (perhaps 10 secs), the GRP will print a TIMEOUT error message indicating that and tell the rest of the GRP software that the line card has crashed.

Recommended Action    Report this defect with as much information about the line card in question including the output of show context summary, show context slot N and show tech-support N as well as the usual show tech-support from the GRP.


Error Message   
%LCINFO-3-INVDEV: Invalid line card number in MBUS callback (LC=[int])

Explanation    The line card crash information subsystem on the GRP was called from the MBus subsystem with an invalid DEVICE identifier. The device in this case is supposed to be the slot number of the line card, but it was out of range. This indicates a software defect in the system.

Recommended Action    Report this defect with as much information about the MBus subsystem as possible. There is no adverse effect to the GRP--it ignores the bad callback and continues. If the problem persists, reboot the router. It is unlikely but possible that the problem is due to bad MBus hardware somewhere in the system--most likely the GRP MBus module.


Error Message   
%LCINFO-3-INVSTATE: Line card crash server in bad state (LC=[int], state=[int]), MSGDEF_LIMIT_MEDIUM

Explanation    The line card crash information subsystem for the line card indicated it is in an unknown state. This is due to a software defect in that subsystem.

Recommended Action    Report this defect with as much information about the MBus subsystem and the line card crash information subsystem possible.


Error Message   
%LCINFO-3-NOBUF: Could not malloc line card crash structures on RP (size=[int])

Explanation    The GRP could not malloc data structures for line card crash data structures at startup time. This is not in and of itself a serious problem, but the underlying memory shortage at startup time will probably prevent the router from running well if at all.

Recommended Action    Add more memory and/or debug the memory shortage problem.


Error Message   
%LCINFO-3-NOBUFLC: Could not malloc line card crash info buffer on RP (LC=[int], bufnum=[int], size=[int]), MSGDEF_LIMIT_MEDIUM

Explanation    The GRP could not malloc one or more buffers to hold line card crash information at startup time. This is not in and of itself a serious problem, but the underlying memory shortage at startup time will probably prevent the router from running well if at all.

Recommended Action    Add more memory and/or debug the memory shortage problem. Possibly reduce the size of or the number of crash information buffers allocated per line card to hold crash information--as of this writing it is not known if either the size or number will be configurable.


Error Message   
%LCINFO-3-NOPROCESS: Failed creating line card complete process

Explanation    When creating the crash complete process for the crash information subsystem the create_process call failed. This should not happen. It is probably due to a software defect or hardware failure. This failure should only happen during initialization.

Recommended Action    Rebooting the system should fix this. If the condition persists on subsequent reloads of the system, file a DDTs bug report and the reload the system with a different image.


Error Message   
%LCINFO-3-TIMEOUT: Timeout waiting for crash info from slot [int]

Explanation    The crash information complete timer expired. When a line card crashes, it sends information to the GRP for debugging and analysis. When the START OF CRASH message is received, a timer is set for approx 10 seconds. The line card has 10 seconds to send all the crash information to the GRP. This is not a crash dump--this is a small amount of information that usually includes context, stack trace, etc. It is less than 8K bytes of information. If an END OF CRASH information message is not received before the timer goes off, the crash information record is closed (contains partial information), this message is displayed, and the rest of the system is notified that the line card crashed (at which point it is probably reloaded). If the line card sends more crash information after the timer goes off and before the system resets the line card, an additional UNXMSG error message might be displayed.

Recommended Action    No action is required specifically because this message was displayed. Because the line card was crashing there might be other defects to report. If this message is seen without a line card crashing report this defect with the output of the usual commands including show tech-support on the GRP, on the line card that didn't crash but was mentioned in this error message.


Error Message   
%LCINFO-4-TRUNC: Crash record ([int]=[chars]) truncated (expected=[int], actual=[int])

Explanation    A line card crashed and was sending crash information to the GRP. The GRP received a CRASH RECORD START message that indicated the data would be "expected" bytes long. Before that many bytes were received, the GRP received another CRASH RECORD START message indicating the start of another record. The current record is marked as truncated, and the next record is received, but the anomaly is noted in this error message. This is a problem, but because what started this process was a line card crashing, this might only be a symptom of another underlying problem.

Recommended Action    Report this defect with as much information about the MBus subsystem and the line card crash information subsystem possible.


Error Message   
%LCINFO-4-UNXMSG: Unexpected crash info msg type ([chars]) in state [chars] (LC=[int])

Explanation    The line card crash information subsystem received an unexpected message for the state it is in. The state and message type are given in the error message. This does not have any adverse effect on the GRP since it ignores and/or recovers from this occurrence. Because the sender of these messages is a line card that is crashing, it is not completely unbelievable that this might happen. The source of the crash on the line card is more interesting. If this occurs without a line card crashing, it is due to a stray/errant MBus message that should be pursued. This could also be due to a dropped MBus message.

Recommended Action    Find the source of the crash on the line card if one was crashing when the message occurred. If no line card was crashing, report this defect with as much information about the MBus subsystem and the line card crash information subsystem as possible. If this message persists, rebooting the router might help remove this message.


Error Message   
%LCLOG-3-INVDEV: Invalid line card number in MBUS callback (LC=[int])

Explanation    The line card crash info subsystem on the GRP was called from the MBus subsystem with an invalid DEVICE identifier. The device in this case is supposed to be the slot number of the line card, but it was out of range. This indicates a software defect in the system.

Recommended Action    Report this defect with as much information about the MBus subsystem as possible. There is no adverse effect to the GRP-- it ignores the bad callback and continues. If the problem is recurring, reboot the router. It is unlikely but possible that the problem is due to bad MBus hardware somewhere in the system--most likely the GRP MBus module.


Error Message   
%LCLOG-3-INVSTATE: LC logger in bad state (LC=[int], state=[chars], msg=[chars]), MSGDEF_LIMIT_MEDIUM

Explanation    The line card logger subsystem for the line card indicated is not in the state expected for the message it received. This is probably due to a software defect in that subsystem. This could also be due to a dropped MBus message.

Recommended Action    Report this defect with as much information about the MBus subsystem and the line card logger subsystem possible.


Error Message   
%LCLOG-3-MSGGIANT: LC log msg larger than max allowed (LC=[int], length=[int]), MSGDEF_LIMIT_MEDIUM

Explanation    The GRP part of the line card logger server has received a log start message that is larger than the maximum log buffer allows. This is probably due to a software defect.

Recommended Action    Report this defect with as much information about the MBus subsystem and the line card logger subsystem possible.


Error Message   
%LCLOG-3-MSGTOOBIG: LC log msg longer than expected (LC=[int], len=[int], exp=[int])

Explanation    The GRP part of the line card logger server has received more text for a message than the start message indicated. This is probably due to a software defect.

Recommended Action    Report this defect with as much information about the MBus subsystem and the line card logger subsystem possible.


Error Message   
%LCLOG-3-OVERFLOW: LC log msg longer than msg buffer (LC=[int], len=[int], max=[int])

Explanation    The GRP part of the line card logger server has received more text for a message than will fit in the message log buffer. This is probably due to a software defect.

Recommended Action    Report this defect with as much information about the MBus subsystem and the line card logger subsystem possible.

Error Message   
%MBUS-3-BADCLK: Slot [dec] does not see fabric clock from [chars]
Card will not operate on fabric using this clock, MSGDEF_LIMIT_MEDIUM

Explanation    The slot must see the fabric clock from at least one of the CSC cards. If just one CSC is present, the card must sync to that clock to operate on the fabric. If 2 CSCs are present the following cases are possible. If the CSC were configured to be redundant, the card will function if it can sync to at least one of the clocks. The card will be configured to use that clock in the non redundant mode. If the CSC cards are not redundant (this is not expected to happen unless the CSC is defective), the whole chassis will be configured for one of the 2 CSCs and all the cards must sync to the this (primary) CSC. A card which failed to sync to the selected primary CSC will not operate over the fabric. Note that if 2 CSCs are present, they will be configured as redundant unless the clocks fail to lock. That error message should have been reported earlier in the process.

Recommended Action    Verify the card is seated correctly. Try to reset or power cycle the card. Run diagnostics for the card if possible. If the condition persists, copy the error message exactly as it appears, along with previous error messages, and report it to your technical support representative.


Error Message   
%MBUS-2-CLKSTATUS: Slot [dec] [chars]

Explanation    The slot clock changed its redundancy state. If the card lost its redundancy state, it can still operate with the other clock. This problem may be localized to the line card or may be a global event due to a malfunctioning CSC card. In the latter case, multiple line cards (all) will show this condition.

Recommended Action    Verify that the other clock is seen correctly using the show controller clock command.


Error Message   
%MBUS-2-CLKSYNC: [chars] could not lock to [chars].
Clocks could not be configured as redundant

Explanation    Failed to lock fabric clocks. This implies that the clock/scheduler redundancy cannot be achieved (in this configuration). If this failure occurs during the boot process, the system primary clock will be chosen by a majority rule (i.e., the primary clock will be the clock synched to by the majority of the cards). If this failure occurs during an OIR event, the initial primary clock will be maintained. Cards which do not sync to the selected primary clock will not operate over the fabric. Use the show controller clock command to check the clock configuration for the individual cards.

Recommended Action    This is a hardware failure. Replace or reinsert the CSC cards and try again. If the condition persists, copy the error message exactly as it appears along with previous error messages and report it to your technical support representative.


Error Message   
%MBUS-3-CSCCLK: Fab CLOCK FPGA in Slot [dec] did not see all Fabric Clocks. FAB_CLK_FPGA_fabClkSts Register = [hex]
If bit 0 of the register is set implies clk_0 is bad

Fabric Clocks could not be configured as redundant.

Explanation    There are two CSC cards in the system but they cannot synchronize to each other; therefore, they are configured as non-redundant.

Recommended Action    Copy the error message exactly as it appears along with any previous error messages and report it to your technical support representative.


Error Message   
%MBUS-3-CSC_ONLY: Slot [dec] can only have CSC cards

%MBUS-3-MISMATCHED_FABCONF: Master GRP Fabric Config: Switch Cards [hex] Master Clock [hex]
Line Card [dec] Fabric Config: Switch Cards [hex] Master Clock [hex]
, MSGDEF_LIMIT_MEDIUM

Explanation    The fabric configurations for the cards are assigned by the master GRP. The configurations may be temporarily different during reconfiguration of fabric (insertion/removal/ malfunction of switch fabric cards) for example, the GRP has changed its configuration but has not yet notified the line card. A line card may modify its FIA config without changing its bandwidth mode. In addition, it is permissible for the line card to have a different primary clock if two CSCs are configured as redundant.

Recommended Action    No action is required.


Error Message   
%MBUS-6-MODEL_INVALID: Chassis Model invalid [dec] (CSC types(0x[hex][hex]) invalid for overide)

Explanation    At least one CSC card must be present in the system.

Recommended Action    Check or insert a CSC card in slot 16 or 17 and reboot the system.


Error Message   
%MBUS-0-NOFABCARD: There must at least be a CSC card in slot 16 or 17.

Explanation    No fabric card was detected in the system.

Recommended Action    Check or insert a CSC card in slot 16 or 17 and reboot the system.


Error Message   
%MBUS-3-NOFABCLK: Slot [dec] does not see any fabric clock
Card will not operate on fabric, MSGDEF_LIMIT_MEDIUM

Explanation    The slot must see the fabric clock from at least one of the CSC cards.

Recommended Action    Reset, power cycle, or reinsert the card. If the error persists, copy the error message exactly as it appears along with any previous error messages and report it to your technical support representative.


Error Message   
%MBUS-0-NOIMAGE: [chars]

Explanation    The image was missing in the bundle linked with this Cisco IOS software image. The image is required for downloading. This usually represents a build problem.

Recommended Action    Contact your technical support representative.


Error Message   
%MBUS-3-NOPROCESS: Failed creating User LED Process);

Explanation    The call to process_create failed when creating the process used to handle the timers for the user commands that write to the LEDs. The only effect of this failure is that the user commands to write LED messages will not work, but there are much more serious problems if the Cisco IOS software is having trouble creating processes during initialization.

Recommended Action    Reboot router. If condition persists and is isolated to just this process, ignore the problem and continue.


Error Message   
%MBUS-6-OIR: [chars] [chars] [dec]

Explanation    An insertion or removal event was detected as specified in the message.

Recommended Action    No action is required.


Error Message   
%MBUS-3-READREG: Failed to read register [hex] in slot [dec] [chars], MSGDEF_LIMIT_MEDIUM

Explanation    The software failed to read the register in the specified slot.

Recommended Action    Check other following error messages.


Error Message   
%MBUS-5-REBOOT: [chars] [dec] [chars]

Explanation    The line card is being reset because it was not downloaded or configured by this GRP. This means we will not support going from a headless state to a connected GRP initially. Long term, the GRP must be able to sync up with the line card state and act accordingly. That will avoid the reset of the entire chassis on every boot of the GRP. This condition will also happen when GRP is booted with a newer (potentially incompatible) version of Cisco IOS software. The line card will be reset and a compatible image downloaded.

Recommended Action    Avoid rebooting the GRP when the line cards are configured and running - unless it is OK to reset the line card.


Error Message   
%MBUS-3-REGISTER: Status change from unknown register [hex] in slot [dec] Value = [hex]

Explanation    A register that was not being monitored has indicated a status change. This is probably a software error.

Recommended Action    If the condition persists, contact your technical support representative.


Error Message   
%MBUS-0-REGISTRY: Failed to create registry [chars]
[chars]

Explanation    The specified registry could not be created. This is a catastrophic error for this feature and requires developer intervention for a solution.

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


Error Message   
%MBUS-0-SELFDISCOVER: Unknown GRP slot number. Power cycle the GSR and retry

Explanation    At least the local GRP must be discovered via the MBus.

Recommended Action    Power cycle the GSR and retry.


Error Message   
%MBUS-3-SFC_ONLY: Slot [dec] can only have SFC cards

Explanation    Slots 18 to 20 can contain only SFC cards.

Recommended Action    Remove non-SFC cards from specified slot. If you are sure it is a SFC card verify that the EEPROM is programmed correctly. Use the show diags details command to read the EEPROM contents, and report it to your technical support representative.


Error Message   
%MBUS-3-SFLOCK: CSC in Slot [dec] failed to phase lock CSC_FPGA_MCLK = [hex]
bit 5 of the register is set
Fabric Clocks could not be configured as redundant

Explanation    The above CSC card was to be designated as the secondary clock. It failed to phase lock with the primary clock. They are therefore not configured in the redundant mode.

Recommended Action    Copy the error message exactly as it appears along with previous error messages and report it to your technical support representative.


Error Message   
%MBUS-6-SWITCHED_FABCLK: Slot [dec] switched to [chars]

Explanation    The selected clock has changed on the card. If the slot was configured with redundant clock, then this is the new clock for this card. It should continue functioning in nonredundant mode. If the redundancy mode is maintained, the clock should not switch (unless there is external user specification or command forcing it to do so).

Recommended Action    No action is required.


Error Message   
%MBUS-3-TIMEOUT:
Timed out waiting for MBUS response from device [int] -- [chars], MSGDEF_LIMIT_MEDIUM

Explanation    The software sent an MBus message and timed out waiting for a response. This could be due to many possible problems--hardware or software. As usual software is more suspect. There are several different pieces of hardware that could cause this problem (MBus module on the GRP or the slot it was sending the message to, GRP, etc.

Recommended Action    For an occasional problem, just ignore the message. For a persistent problem or one involving lots of timeouts, send e-mail to the appropriate cs-? mailing list. If the problem is always associated with a single slot or MBus device, replace the MBus module and/or the whole FRU (line card, or power supply or whatever). If the problem is associated with many different slots or MBus devices, replace the GRP MBus module and/or the whole GRP. If replacing hardware does not solve the problem, submit a DDTs bug report with as much information as possible including the console output at the time of the error.


Error Message   
%MBUS-6-UNUSED_SFC: In slot [dec]

Explanation    The mode set does not need the specified SFC. They are ignored for the configuration. Removing them will make no difference to system performance.

Recommended Action    Verify that this is indeed the case, in other words, the bandwidth mode of the fabric is the expected bandwidth. No action is usually required.


Error Message   
%MBUS-3-WAKEUP:
Could not set wake up reason (pid=[int]) -- [chars], MSGDEF_LIMIT_MEDIUM

Explanation    When sending an MBus message and waiting for a response, the process wake up reason is changed while waiting for the response. There was an error getting the current wake up reason for the process. This is due to some error in the scheduler or some other software bug in the MBus code.

Recommended Action    For any occurrence of this problem, open a DDTs bug report and include the exact message and the trace back that accompanies it. If the problem is persistent or happens frequently, reloading the router might make the problem go away.


Error Message   
%MBUS_SYS-3-ENQUEUE: Failed to queue message from slot [dec] stream [dec], MSGDEF_LIMIT_MEDIUM

Explanation    Failed to enqueue a message from the interrupt for process level software. The message will be dropped. This points to a potential problem in the MBus process level message handling. This can occur if there are problems with the MBus process specifically or there maybe general Cisco IOS software process related issues. This might also happen if the MBus process is not scheduled for extended periods of time and there is heavy MBus traffic.

Recommended Action    If this is a persistent problem, either the MBus process is dead or there are other Cisco IOS software related problems. Reboot the GRP if possible.


Error Message   
%MBUS_SYS-3-MAXSIZE: Message from slot [dec] stream [dec] of length [dec] > max message size [dec]

Explanation    Message from a slot exceeded maximum message size and hence will be dropped. This should not happen during normal operations.

Recommended Action    Verify health of the MBus using show mbus counters and the show mbus can-error commands. If any particular card shows errors and this condition persists, reload the card if possible. The error counts in the show mbus commands can be cleared using clear mbus-statistics command.


Error Message   
%MBUS_SYS-3-MSGTOOBIG: MBUS message length too big (dev=[int], type=[int], len=[int]), MSGDEF_LIMIT_MEDIUM

Explanation    The software tried to send a message with a length greater than 254.

Recommended Action    Submit a DDTs bug report with as much information as possible including the console output at the time of the error.


Error Message   
%MBUS_SYS-3-NOBUFFER: Message from slot [dec] in stream [dec] dropped, MSGDEF_LIMIT_MEDIUM

Explanation    Message from the slot was dropped because there were no MBus buffers available. Either the messages are coming too fast or the process level message handling is not draining messages quickly enough.

Recommended Action    This condition should correct itself. Check if the GRP is being inundated by messages from the chassis. If the condition persists, reboot the GRP.


Error Message   
%MBUS_SYS-3-NOCHANNEL: Failed to allocate MBUS channel for over 10 secs, MSGDEF_LIMIT_MEDIUM

Explanation    No MBus channel could be allocated for sending messages. There is either very heavy MBus traffic or there is a hardware problem. If there is temporary heavy traffic, the condition will clear itself. In case of hardware errors, either the MBus agent has died or the hardware interface to the mailbox is not draining messages. Resetting the processor (including agent) may clear the problem. If the problem persists, the card probably has hardware problems and needs diagnosis.

Recommended Action    Power cycle the card. If problem persists the card probably has a hardware problem.


Error Message   
%MBUS_SYS-3-REASSEMBLY: Error slot [dec], stream [dec] [chars], MSGDEF_LIMIT_MEDIUM

Explanation    A reassembly error was detected for the given slot/stream combination. Either the slot/stream combination was incorrect (so it gave an invalid reassembly buffer index) or the first/last (or last few) packet(s) was/were lost. The message will be dropped, which may cause errors for the application running over the MBus.

Recommended Action    This condition should correct itself. No action is required.


Error Message   
%MBUS_SYS-0-REGISTRY: Failed to create registry [chars]
[chars]

Explanation    The specified registry could not be created. This is a catastrophic error for this feature. This needs a developer's intervention for a solution.

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


Error Message   
%MBUS_SYS-3-SEQUENCE: Sequencing error (slot [dec], stream [dec]): expected [dec], received [dec], MSGDEF_LIMIT_MEDIUM

Explanation    An incorrect sequence number was detected in a multi packet message. This could happen if the source packetized the message incorrectly (unlikely) or one or more packets got dropped.

Recommended Action    Check if there is excessive MBus activity, copious printing from a line card etc. The show mbus counters command can provide a lost message count.


Error Message   
%MBUS_SYS-3-TIMEOUT: Timeout on mbus request. Dest = [int], type = [int], addr = 0x[hex], MSGDEF_LIMIT_MEDIUM

Explanation    The software failed to receive a response from a MBus request. This could be either a request for a EEPROM field or a register read.

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


Error Message   
%MBUS_SYS-3-TXERR: Failed to transmit MBUS message for over 10 secs, MSGDEF_LIMIT_MEDIUM

Explanation    Message could not be transmitted since all the transmit buffers are full for ever 10 seconds. This may be a temporary problem if there is heavy MBus traffic. Otherwise it is probably a hardware problem. Either the MBus agent is not responding or the hardware interface is not generating interrupts.

Recommended Action    If this is a persistent problem power cycle the card. If the problem still continues, it is likely to be a hardware problem and needs diagnosis.


Error Message   
%MBUS_SYS-3-UNEXPECTED: Unexpected response key = [int], current key = [int], MSGDEF_LIMIT_MEDIUM

Explanation    Received an unexpected response to a read register or read EEPROM.

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


Error Message

Explanation    An internal software error occurred.

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


Error Message   
%UCODE-3-SRCTYPE: Invalid Ucode source type ([dec])

Explanation    The microcode source type as specified is not supported on the given platform.

Recommended Action    Verify that the proper revisions of code are selected.


Error Message   
%VIP-3-AFOVERFLOW: Ethernet address filter table full

Explanation    VIP Ethernet-like interface uses an internal MAC address table to filter incoming packets. Once the table is full, additional address entries are rejected. Any incoming packet with destination address not in the table will be ignored.

Recommended Action    The address table is consumed by various protocols, like PIM or HSRP. If too many HSRP is configured for one interface, the entry could be exhausted. The suggested solution would be to distribute some of those HSRP entries to other Ethernet interface.
