Hi,

I am getting this error on my cat 4500 switch.:

Hi,

I would contact TAC for that kind of error (according to http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/ios/12_0/system/messages/emswitch.html, which mentions

'%SYS-3-TIMERNEG : Cannot start timer ([hex]) with negative offset ([dec])

Explanation An internal software error occurred.

Recommended Action Copy the error message exactly as it appears, and report it to your technical support representative.')

I know, not the answer you would have expected, but there seem to be less options...

Are you getting this message AFTER you configure something using the "interface range"?

[nehakulsum]

Yes, After I apply the cmds the error msg pops up.

But why is the error comes while configuring the vlan on interface range cmd???

jbrenesj,

This should be internal bug could you please check this and update me.

I would be very thankfull to you.

Thanks

Neha.

I have seen two similar cases now but unfortunately this type of condition is usually triggered on the standby supervisor engine when issuing

commands within an interface range and this condition does not always repeat itself and it does not affect performance.

There is no bug yet but I suggest monitoring and if the issue is persistent you might contact TAC for further investigation.
