Hi,
We are seeing this on a Cat4500 VSS switch
%C4K_SWITCHINGENGINEMAN-3-VFEFLTOOMANYPARITYERRORS: VFE FL module sees too many fwdMem1CorrectedEcc
According to this:
https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst4500/12-2/53SG/system/messages/sem_53sg/emsg.html
the SUP should get automatically rebooted. But that didn't happen. We are dropping pings when pinging the switch.
Since it is mostly a hardware related issue, I thought about reseating the SUP with the issue. But I can't tell exactly which one. I'm suspecting the standby SUP because I see this:

Am I right in my assumption? Can we just re-seat the standby SUP or do we have to reload the whole standby switch?
