Problem Description

Cisco 12406 CSC revision A0 line cards may experience the following problems:

  1. Fail over time between operational CSC to redundant CSC may not occur, or may take up to 13 seconds.
  2. CSCs may experience parity errors during the interval between CSC failure and fail over.

Background

GSR6-CSC revision A0 cards generate invalid clock signal levels due to improperly placed termination resistors. This will affect both the operational and redundant CSC, resulting in CSC fail over not occuring or taking up to 13 seconds to complete.

The following error messages can be indicitive of this problem and will result after the CSC fails:

  • %FABRIC-3-LOS: LOS for slot was detected.
  • %FABRIC-3-CRC: Switch card
  • %FABRIC-3-PARITYERR: To Fabric parity error was detected. Grant parity error Data = 0x2.

Problem Symptoms

GSR6-CSC cards fails to roll to the redundant CSC.
