System Fault Messages

Fault
Severity
Description/Cause
Action
Port pair <port
name> is in
Bypass Mode.
Critical
This fault indicates that the
indicated GBIC ports are unable
to remain in In-line Mode as
configured. This has caused fail-
open control to initiate and the
Sensor is now operating in
Bypass Mode. Bypass mode
indicates that traffic is flowing
through the Fail Open Bypass
Switch, bypassing the Sensor
completely.
Check the health of the
Sensor and the indicated
ports. Check the connectivity
of the Fail Open Control Cable
to ensure that the Fail Open
Control Module can
communicate with the Fail
Open Controller in the
Sensor’s Compact Flash port.
Power supply error Critical
(Seen only with Sensors with a
redundant power supply). This
fault indicates a loss of power in
one of the two power supplies in
the Sensor (primary or
secondary). This fault can
indicate that the power supply
has failed; that supply has been
inserted, but there is no power to
the supply; or that the power
supply has been removed.
If the power supply is in place
and plugged in to a power
source, check power to the
outlet providing power to the
power supply. If the fault
indicates that there is no
power and a power
interruption is not the cause,
replace the failed power
supply. Contact McAfee
Technical Support to schedule
a replacement unit.
Sensor changed to
a different model
Critical
Sensor has been replaced by a
different model, which does not
match the original model. The
alert channel will not be able to
establish a connection.
Ensure you replace with the
same Sensor model (For
example: Replace an I-2700
with I-2700, and not with an I-
4010).
Scheduled
Vulnerability
Manager
vulnerability data
import failed
Critical
This message indicates that the
vulnerability data import by the
Scheduler from Vulnerability
Manager database has failed.
Refer to error logs for details
Sensor changes to
a different model
Critical
A Sensor was replaced with a
different model type (for
example, an I-1200 was
replaced with an I-1200-FO
(failover only) Sensor). The alert
channel will be unable to make a
connection.
When replacing a Sensor,
ensure that you replace it with
an identical model (for
example, replace an I-1200
with an I-1200, do not attempt
to replace a regular Sensor
with a failover-only model, and
vice-versa).
