EC Messages
Error Message
EC-5-NOLACP: Invalid EC mode, LACP not enabled.
Explanation
This message means that the EtherChannel mode cannot be set because LACP is not
included in the software image.
Recommended Action
Install a software image that includes LACP, and set the EC mode to
on
.
Error Message
EC-5-NOPAGP: Invalid EC mode, PAgP not enabled.
Explanation
This message means that PAgP is not included in the Cisco IOS image and that the
EtherChannel mode cannot be set to
desirable
or
auto
.
Recommended Action
Obtain an image with PAgP included, or set the mode to
on
by using the
channel-group
channel-group-number
mode on
interface configuration command.
Error Message
EC-5-PORTDOWN: Shutting down [chars] as its port-channel is
admin-down.
Explanation
This message means that the administrative state of the port is controlled by the
administrative state of its aggregate port. If the administrative state of the aggregate port is down,
the administrative state of the port is also forced to be down. [chars] is the physical interface.
Recommended Action
Enter the
no shutdown
interface configuration command on the aggregate port
to activate the aggregation port.
Error Message
EC-5-STAYDOWN: [chars] will remain down as its port-channel [chars] is
admin-down.
Explanation
This message means that 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
This message means that 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.
