GBIC_SECURITY_CRYPT Messages
This section contains the Cisco GBIC module and SFP module security messages. The switch recognizes
the module as a Cisco module but identifies another problem with it.
Note The switch supports SFP modules and does not support GBIC modules. Although the error message text
refers to GBIC interfaces and modules, the messages from the switch actually refer to the SFP module
interfaces and modules.
Error Message GBIC_SECURITY_CRYPT-4-ID_MISMATCH: Identification check failed for
GBIC interface [chars].
Explanation
The SFP module was identified as a Cisco SFP module, but the system was unable to
verify its identity. [chars] is the interface in which the module is installed.
Recommended Action Check the list of supported SFP modules for this version of the system
software. An upgrade might be required for newer modules. Otherwise, verify that the module was
obtained from Cisco or from a supported vendor.
Error Message GBIC_SECURITY_CRYPT-4-UNRECOGNIZED_VENDOR: GBIC interface [chars]
manufactured by an unrecognized vendor.
Explanation
The SFP module was identified as a Cisco SFP module, but the system was unable to
match its manufacturer with one of the known list of Cisco SFP module vendors. [chars] is the
interface in which the module is installed.
Recommended Action Check the list of supported SFP modules for this version of the system
software. An upgrade might be required for newer modules.
Error Message GBIC_SECURITY_CRYPT-4-VN_DATA_CRC_ERROR: GBIC interface [chars] has
bad crc.
Explanation The SFP module was identified as a Cisco SFP module, but it does not have a valid CRC
in the EEPROM data. [chars] is the interface in which the module is installed.
Recommended Action Check the list of supported SFP modules for this version of the system
software. An upgrade might be required for newer modules. Even if unrecognized, the module might
operate but with limited functionality.
