System Message Overview
This publication lists and describes the Cisco IOS system messages for Catalyst 6500 series switches.
The system software sends these error messages to the console (and, optionally, to a logging server on
another system) during operation. Not all system error messages indicate problems with your system.
Some messages are purely informational, while others may help diagnose problems with
communications lines, internal hardware, or the system software.
This publication also includes error messages that appear when the system fails.
This chapter contains the following sections:
• System Message Structure, page 1-1
• System Message Example, page 1-8
• Using the Error Message Decoder to Search for System Messages, page 1-8
• Searching for System Messages in Online Documentation, page 1-8
• Terminology, page 1-9

• FACILITY code
The facility code consists of two or more uppercase letters that indicate the facility to which the
message refers. A facility can be a hardware device, a protocol, or a module of the system software.
