Cisco Catalyst 2960S stack problem

[ciscomagu]

Hi,

I have a new problem with Catalyst 2960S. We have four switch in a stack and now I get the message:

“%PLATFORM_RPC-3-MSG_THROTTLED: RPC Msg Dropped by throttle mechanism: type 37, class 14, max_msg 32, total throttled 73968 (hostname1-2)”

Traceback= 13A686C 160862C 160E0B4 15E2088 184FD48 18467B8

The software version is:

Cisco IOS Software, C2960S Software (C2960S-UNIVERSALK9-M), Version 12.2(55)SE, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc2)

Any ideas what it means?

Best Regards

Does it always go down when you telnet/console to it?

He he he ... You're right.  CPU goes down as soon as I console or telnet.

So I guess 12.2(55)SE2 hasn't fixed this issue.

[Matthew Blanshard]

Yeah that's the one issue not fixed in 12.2(55)SE2.  That one will be fixed in 12.2(58)SE which is due out early March.  It got less priority because it's really a cosmetic issue where the software is incorrectly classifying idle threads as in use when in fact they are not.  Once you generate real CPU traffic then it figures it out.

   Just wanted to post that we updated to 12.2(55)SE1 and so far we have been running over 3 weeks with no “%PLATFORM_RPC-3-MSG_THROTTLED: RPC Msg Dropped by throttle mechanism: type 37, class 14, max_msg 32, total throttled 73968 (hostname1-2)” errors.

[Jamie Douglas]

For you info

Running 2960S with 4 in the stack with full ring connectivity on ver 12.2(55)SE, switch 1 dropped out of the stack all users on this switch lost connectivity although Fa interfaces still up, also seeing the "Feb 16 11:07:03.765 GMT:  %PLATFORM_RPC-3-MSG_THROTTLED: RPC Msg Dropped by throttle mechanism:  type 37, class 14, max_msg 32, total throttled 49188 (Switch-01-1)"  error message. Uptime on the stack was 10 weeks.

in the process of raising with TAC

[ashaw216]

  Have you tried upgrading to 12.2(55)SE1 as mentioned in this thread? This is most likely what TAC will ask you to do.

[Leo Laohoo]

Upgrade to either 12.2(55)SE4 or 15.0(1)SE2.

I have total 12 switch 2960s, shared for 3 stack (one stack have 4 switch  config mod LACP). But 2 stacks: switch1 and switch2 working . Switch 3  have four switches in stack but only 2 switches working,

problems: " EthChnl assert failure: rafb: ../switch/pagp/pagp_switch_util.c: 2368
