Chapter 1 System Message Overview Terminology Some messages that appear on the console or in the system log indicate where the system condition occurred. These messages are structured as follows: %FACILITY-SOURCE-SEVERITY-MNEMONIC: Message-text SOURCE indicates the location of the condition. Examples of SOURCE are SP, which indicates that the condition occurred in the switch processor, or DFC5, which indicates that the condition occurred in the Distributed Forwarding Card on the module in slot 5. If you search for the explanation and recommended action of a message that contains a SOURCE, remove the SOURCE from the text first, and then search for the message in the documentation. For example, instead of searching the documentation for the message C6KPWR-SP-4-DISABLED, remove the SOURCE identifier and search for the message C6KPWR-4-DISABLED. Terminology In this publication, the terms "module" and "line card" both refer to a switch module. Error Message Traceback Reports Some messages describe internal errors and contain traceback information. This information is very important and should be included when you report a problem to your technical support representative. The following sample message includes traceback information: -Process = "Exec", level = 0, pid = 17 -Traceback = 1A82 1AB4 6378 A072 1054 1860 OL-11469-02 Catalyst Supervisor Engine 32 PISA Cisco IOS System Message Guide, Release 12.2ZY 1-9
