MainbMainboard authentication failed

[malhalafi]

I have issues with our switch, including an appearance notification that says "MainbMainboard authentication failed." Abort init... 

and I open tieckt with cisco and request me provide below information :

• switch:set
• switch:version
• switch:gettlv
• switch:dir flash:

but I can't provide this information because of this problem.

Contact Cisco TAC and organize for an RMA.  
This is a very well known problem and the only solution is to RMA the switch.

Yes, I did that. Contact Cisco TAC and replace it for me.

Thank Leo.

Thanks all.
