Error Message EC-5-L3DONTBNDL2: [char] suspended: LACP currently not enabled on the
remote port.
Explanation
LACP is enabled on a Layer 3 interface, but the partner port does not have LACP
enabled. In this mode, the port is put in a suspended state.
Recommended Action Enable LACP on the remote side.
Error Message EC-5-NOLACP: Invalid EC mode
Explanation
LACP is not included in the image. You cannot set EC mode to active or passive.
Recommended Action Upgrade to an image with LACP, or set the mode to On.
Error Message EC-5-NOPAGP:Invalid EC mode
Explanation
PAgP is not included in the image, so the EtherChannel mode cannot be set to
desirable/auto.
Recommended Action Obtain an image that includes PAgP, or set the mode to ON.
Error Message EC-5-PORTDOWN: Shutting down [char] as its port-channel is admin-down
Explanation The administrative state of the aggregate port is down, which forces the administrative
state of the port to also be down. The administrative state of the port is controlled by the
administrative state of its aggregate port.
Recommended Action Enter the no shutdown command on the aggregate port to activate the
aggregation port.
Error Message EC-5-STAYDOWN: [char] will remain down as its port-channel [char] is
admin-down
Explanation
An interface with EtherChannel configuration cannot be administratively up if its port
channel is administratively down. Although this interface has an EtherChannel configuration, it has
no information about the port channel. The no shutdown command is not supported.
Recommended Action Wait for the module to come online.
Error Message EC-5-UNBUNDLE:Interface [char] left the port-channel [char]
Explanation
The interface fell off the bundle.
Recommended Action This is an informational message only. No action is required.
