Hi, One of our border routers (7200 VXR NPE-G1) went down and when we connected console and restart it it gave this weird error:
%SYS-1-MTNOTFENCED: Expired timer is not fenced, timer = 0, type 0 *** System received a Software forced crash *** Signal= 0x17, code= 0x24, context= 0x63059804 PC = 0x607f156c, SP = 0x80007d10, RA = 0x607ef5b4 Cause Reg = 0x00000024, Status Reg = 0x3400ff03 The only thing I could find on Cisco is a reference to different platforms Here http://www.cisco.com.ru/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/ong/on_15300/ons15304/rn15304.htm it says this: Symptom: The system will reboot after printing a message similar to: %SYS-1-MTNOTFENCED: Expired timer is not fenced, timer = 0, type 0 %Software-forced reload Condition: This has only been observed when repeated equipment protection switching has occurred due to operator input. Workaround: There are no known workarounds for this problem. The system will automatically switch to the standby SAM when the affected SAM reboots. Here http://www.cisco.com.ru/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/ong/on_15300/ons15304/rn15304.htm it says: Under rare circumstances, the system may reboot with the following error message. %SYS-1-MTNOTFENCED: Expired timer is not fenced, timer = 0, type 0 %Software-forced reload There are no known workarounds. "NO KNOWN WORKAROUNDS"??? Does it mean I need to put the router in the trash bin and buy a new one??? C'mon Cisco guys, your programmers created that error to be printed in a specific circumstance and you can't tell what is the reason nor a workaround??? What are those "rare" circumstances??? ************************************************************************************ This footnote confirms that this email message has been scanned by PineApp Mail-SeCure for the presence of malicious code, vandals & computer viruses. ************************************************************************************ _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
