1. Major alarms may be downgraded to Warning alarms based on the value used in set options.

Notes:

  1. Error type 0: Run the short test sequence first. If every test passes, run the long test sequence. Refer to each appropriate test’s description, and follow its recommended procedures.

  2. Error type 1: Ethernet Local Loop around Test (#1278) failed.

    1. Test the port. Type test port location long

    2. See Ethernet Local Looparound Test 1278 for repair procedures.

  3. Error type 513: Link Integrity Inquiry test (#1282) failed, or the PROCR port detected loss of Ethernet link integrity.

    Possible causes:

    • Cables

    • Ethernet transceiver

    1. Test the port. Type test port location long

    2. If the Link Integrity Inquiry Test 1282 fails, refer to its repair procedure.

  4. Error type 769: Port received invalid frame.

    Invalid Ethernet frame errors occur when the frame:

    • Contains a bad cyclic redundancy check (CRC)

    • Is misaligned

    1. Isolate the problem with the Ethernet Local Looparound Test 1278.

    2. Test the port. Type test port location long

    3. Verify the repair with the Ethernet Local Looparound Test 1278.

    4. Clear the alarm. Type test port location long clear

  5. Error type 1281: System software received an indication that the far end has requested a disconnect of a session on this link. This is a log-only error. No action is necessary.

  6. Error type 1537–1538: Some or all sessions on a port are down.

    If

    Then the switch raises

    Some sessions are down

    WARNING alarm on circuit pack

    Every session is down

    MINOR alarm on circuit pack

    1. Test the port. Type test port location

    2. Refer to Session Status Test 1286 repair procedure to verify repair.

  7. Error type 1793–1920: System software received an indication that a socket was closed due to an error.
