Error Message
EC-5-STAYDOWN: [chars] will remain down as its port-channel [chars] is
admin-down.
Explanation
The administrative state of the aggregation port overrides that of the affected port. If the
aggregation port is administratively down, all ports in the aggregation port are forced to be
administratively down. The first [chars] is the physical interface, and the second [chars] is the
EtherChannel.
Recommended Action
Enter the
no shutdown
interface configuration command on the aggregation
port to activate (unshut) the aggregation port.
Error Message
EC-5-STAYDOWN: no-shut not allowed on [chars]. Module [dec] not online.
Explanation
An interface with an EtherChannel configuration cannot be enabled by using the
no
shutdown
interface configuration command because it is a member of an EtherChannel group and
that EtherChannel group has been administratively shut down. The interface has an EtherChannel
configuration, but no information is available yet about its port channel. [chars] is the interface, and
[dec] is the module.
Recommended Action
No action is required. Wait until the module is online to find out the
port-channel setting of the EtherChannel.
Error Message
EC-5-UNBUNDLE: Interface [chars] left the port-channel [chars].
Explanation
The listed interface left the specified EtherChannel. The first [chars] is the physical
interface, which can be a switch port or a routed port, and the second [chars] is the EtherChannel.
Recommended Action
No action is required.
Error Message
EC-5-UNSUITABLE: [chars] will not join any port-channel, [chars].
Explanation
One of the interfaces cannot join the EtherChannel because it is configured for PortFast,
as a VLAN Membership Policy Server (VMPS), for IEEE 802.1x, as a voice VLAN, or as a
Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) destination port. All of these are unsuitable configurations for
EtherChannels. The first [chars] is the interface name, and the second [chars] describes the details
of the unsuitable configuration.
Recommended Action
Reconfigure the port; remove the unsuitable configuration.
