Error Message EC-5-CANNOT_ALLOCATE_AGGREGATOR: Aggregator limit reached, cannot
allocate aggregator for group [dec]
Explanation A new aggregator cannot be allocated in the group. [dec] is the affected group.
Recommended Action Change the port attributes of the ports in the group so that they match and join
the same aggregator.
Error Message EC-5-CANNOT_BUNDLE1: Port-channel [chars] is down, port [chars] will
remain stand-alone
Explanation The aggregation port is down. The port remains standalone until the aggregation port is
up. The first [chars] is the EtherChannel. The second [chars] is the port number.
Recommended Action Ensure that the other ports in the bundle have the same configuration.
Error Message EC-5-CANNOT_BUNDLE2: [chars] is not compatible with [chars] and will
be suspended ([chars])
Explanation The interface has different interface attributes than the EtherChannel or the other ports
in the EtherChannel. For the interface to join the bundle (EtherChannel), change the interface
attributes to match the EtherChannel attributes. The first [chars] is the interface to be bundled, the
second [chars] is the physical interface (a switch port or a routed port) that is already in the bundle,
and the third [chars] is the reason for the incompatibility.
Recommended Action Change the interface attributes to match the EtherChannel attributes.
Error Message EC-5-CANNOT_BUNDLE_LACP: [chars] is not compatible with aggregators in
channel [dec] and cannot attach to them ([chars]).
Explanation The port has different port attributes than the port channel or ports within the port
channel. [chars] is the incompatible port. [chars] is the short interface name, such as Gi1/0/1 on a
stacking-capable switch, [dec] is the channel group number, and the last [chars] is the reason.
Recommended Action For the port to join the EtherChannel bundle, change the port attributes so that
they match the port.
Error Message EC-5-COMPATIBLE: [chars] is compatible with port-channel members.
Explanation A port was not operational because its attributes were different from those of the port
channel or ports within the port channel. The system has detected that the attributes of the port now
match the port-channel attributes. [chars] is the affected port.
Recommended Action No action is required.
