Panic Errors
This module includes errors that cause a system panic to occur. A system
panic causes the Switch to reboot. The PANIC error is stored in flash memory
with a stack trace, local stack content and local register content at the time the
error occurred. To view the trace, allow the Switch to reboot and issue the
traceShow command. PANIC errors have the highest severity (0). If the
trace was caused by a PANIC error, the first line displays:
Reset reasons 0x100: Panic
NOTE:
Use the traceShow command should be used to identify PANIC errors as the
errShow command is not useful in this case.
