Error in Cisco 2960 Switch

[Dasuntha Dinesh]

When I start the switch, I have error !!!WARNING

: The Switch is not usable.

And also,

POST: PortASIC CAM Subsystem Tests: Begin

TCAM (asic:0, bit:55) data bus test failed

Post CAM test failed

unable to create l2trace server process, socket_open() failed

Hope any one can help me to fix it.

Thanks

Hello Dasuntha,

this is an hardware failure of TCAM data bus you need to replace the switch being a fixed configuration switch

if you have a valid service contract you can open an RMA to have the switch replaced.

Hope to help

Hello Dasuntha,

>> Do you think If i try to load the IOS again to the switch & it'll fix the problem...

no, it is an hardware problem not a question of IOS image version

Hope to help
