Chapter 2 Messages and Recovery Procedures
FLASH Messages
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.
Error Message EC-5-UNSUITABLE:[char] will not join any port-channel
Explanation
The configurations for PortFast, VMPS, and Dest-SPAN are incompatible with
EtherChannel.
Recommended Action Unconfigure the three features so that the port can form a bundle.
