Advanced SIP Troubleshooting
Note
The LED label may appear reversed in the
show led
command output. For example, IOS RUN may be
displayed as RUN IOS.
If the
show led
command on the SIP displays anything other than IOS RUN, or the RP is neither the
active Master/Primary nor the Slave/Secondary, there is a problem and the SIP has not fully loaded
correctly. Before replacing the SIP, try fixing the problem by following these steps:
Step 1
Reload the microcode using the global configuration
microcode reload
slot
command.
Step 2
Reload the SIP using the
hw-module slot
reload command. This causes the SIP to reset and download
the MBus and fabric downloader software modules before attempting to download the Cisco IOS
software.
or
Reset the SIP manually. This may rule out any problems that are caused by a bad connection to the MBus
or switching fabric.
Fabric Ping Failure
Fabric ping failures occur when either a SIP or the secondary RP fails to respond to a fabric ping request
from the primary RP over the switch fabric. Such failures are a problem symptom that should be
investigated. They are indicated by the following error messages:
%GRP-3-FABRIC_UNI: Unicast send timed out (1)
%GRP-3-COREDUMP: Core dump incident on slot 1, error: Fabric ping failure
%LCINFO-3-CRASH: Line card in slot 1 crashed

Timeouts and Failures on the Cisco 12000 Series Internet Router

Error Messages
If you receive any error message related to a SIP, you can use the Error Message Decoder Tool (on
Cisco.com) to find the meaning of this error message. Some errors point to a hardware issue, while others
indicate a Cisco IOS software caveat or a hardware issue on another part of the router. This document
does not cover all these messages.
Note
Some messages related to Cisco Express Forwarding (CEF) and Inter Process-Communication (IPC) are
explained on Cisco.com in the
