EC Messages
Error Message EC-5-CANNOT_BUNDLE1: Port-channel [chars] is down, port [chars] will
remain stand-alone.
Explanation This message means that the aggregation port is down. The port remains standalone
until the aggregation port is up. The first [chars] is the EtherChannel, and the second [chars] is the
port number.
Recommended Action Ensure that the other ports in the bundle have the same configuration.
Error Message EC-5-CANNOT_BUNDLE2: [chars] is not compatible with [chars] and will
be suspended ([chars]).
Explanation This message means that the interface has different interface attributes than the other
ports in the EtherChannel. For the interface to join the bundle (EtherChannel), change the interface
attributes to match the EtherChannel attributes. The first [chars] is the interface to be bundled, the
second [chars] is the physical interface (a switch port) that is already in the bundle, and the third
[chars] is the reason for the incompatibility.
Recommended Action Change the interface attributes to match the EtherChannel attributes.
Error Message EC-5-CANNOT_BUNDLE_LACP: [chars] is not compatible with aggregators in
channel [dec] and cannot attach to them ([chars]).
Explanation This message means that the port has different port attributes than the port channel or
ports within the port channel. For the port to join the bundle, change the port attributes so that they
match the port. [chars] is the incompatible port, [dec] is the channel group number, and the last
[chars] is the reason.
Recommended Action Match the port attributes to the port channel.
Error Message EC-5-COMPATIBLE: [chars] is compatible with port-channel members.
Explanation This message means that a port was not operational because its attributes were different
from those of the port channel or ports within the port channel. The system has detected that the
attributes of the port now match the port-channel attributes. [chars] is the affected port.
Recommended Action No action is required.
Error Message EC-5-ERRPROT: Channel protocol mismatch for interface [chars] in group
[dec]: the interface can not be added to the channel group.
Explanation This message means that the interface cannot be added to the channel group with the
specified mode. [chars] is the interface, and [dec] is the channel group.
Recommended Action Change the channel group or the mode for the interface.
