indicate a hardware problem.
Recommended Action If this message persists, use the show platform commands to show results,
contact your technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered
information.
Error Message C4K_SWITCHINGENGINEMAN-3-PACKETMEMORYPARITYERROR: Parity error in

support representative.
