Error Msg

[jacquesd]

Hi all,

We have a 1720 used as a perimeter router to our ISP. The last few days it started to become unresponsive intermittantly and I get messages like

Corrupted Pak Header for Serial0

and

Late collisions for the Ethernet Port.

The late collisions can be because a hub is used, not switch (then again there is only 1MB bandwith on the serial ports), which I will fix. But the unresponsiveness and corrupted Pak headers (whatever that may mean) is a problem.

Any Ideas?

Is "Corrupted Pak Header for Serial0" the entire error message? Can you post the portion of the log that has this meesage?

Hi,

The complete log entry is:

22:04:30: %IPFAST-2-PAKSTICK: Corrupted pak header for Serial0, flags 0x80

-Traceback= 80050734 800272C0 8002CC60 8002A860 8014C3B0 8012163C 80140EF8 80140

EF8 801216FC 80125DFC 80127784 80122908 80008120

I saw about 55 interface resets on the fastethernet port over 12 hours, but the switch took care of that and the collisions. Since I put in the switch, the router has not had any problems again, except for the log entry above (touch wood).
