EC Messages
Error Message EC-5-CANNOT_BUNDLE1:Port-channel [char] is admin-down
Explanation
The administrative state of the aggregation port channel is down. The port remains in a
standalone state until the state of the aggregation port is up.
Recommended Action Ensure that all of the ports in the bundle have the same configuration.
Error Message EC-5-CANNOT_BUNDLE2:[char] is not compatible with [char] and will be
suspended ([char])
Explanation
The port has different port attributes from those of the port channel (or the ports within
the port channel).
Recommended Action Adjust the port attributes to match those of the port channel.
Error Message EC-5-CANNOT_BUNDLE_LACP: [char] is not compatible with aggregators in
channel [dec] and cannot attach to them ([char])
Explanation
This port has different port attributes than other ports within the port channel.
Recommended Action Match the port attributes to that of the port channel.
Error Message EC-5-CANNOT_BUNDLE_QOS: Removed [char] from port channel because a
QoS policy cannot be supported across multiple DFC cards.
Explanation The port that is specified in the error message cannot join a port channel because the
QoS policy that is attached to the port channel cannot support multiple DFC cards.
Recommended Action Place the port in another port channel, or remove the QoS policy from the port
channel.
Error Message EC-5-COMPATIBLE: [char] is compatible with port-channel members
Explanation
The specified interface is not operational because its attributes are different from the
attributes of the port channel or the attributes of the interfaces within the port channel. The switch
detects that the attributes of the specified port now match the port-channel attributes.
Recommended Action This is an informational message only. No action is required.
Error Message EC-5-DONTBNDL: [char] suspended: incompatible partner port with [char]
Explanation
The configuration of the partner port is different from the configuration of the other
ports in the bundle. A port can join the bundle only when the global configuration of the port and
the configuration of the partner port are the same as the other ports in the bundle.
Recommended Action Ensure that the configuration of the partner ports is the same for all ports in the
bundle.
