Error message when failover from standby to active in ASA5585

[bashir.rabbani]

Hi all!

I have two ASA in failover with Active/standby configuration. When I switch from standby to active from the standby ASA I get a lot (like 100) of error messages like these below:

asa5585/sec/stby# failover active

transport_gport: ERROR - UDP invalid vpifnum 1245185

transport_gport: ERROR - UDP invalid vpifnum 1310721

transport_gport: ERROR - UDP invalid vpifnum 1310731

transport_gport: ERROR - UDP invalid vpifnum 1376257

The failover works fine and nothing seems to be wrong with the firewalls function.

Hardware is ASA5585-SSP-10.

Software version: ASA 8.2(5),

ASA is in multiple mode with 17 active context.

Does anyone know why these error messages appear and what they mean?

Hi Bashir,

The device seems to be hitting bug CSCtq19611. This is just a cosmetic issue. You can upgrade to version 8.2.5(1) to avaid getting these messages.

Hope this helps!

Hi Anu,

Thank you for the fast reply, the bug id seems to under review for publishing in Bug toolkit so I can’t read about the bug.

It feels better now when I know that this seems to be a cosmetic issue, we are going to upgrade to 8.4 soon so that should fix the problem
