C6500 - %CONST_DIAG-SP-3-HM_TEST_FAIL

ROLAND CUNZ · ‎09-16-2009

Dear all

We have 2 Cat 6509 connected to 1 Gbps Ethernet WAN Link. On each 6509 we use 2 Gbps IPSec SPA Encryption cards for Encryption. The encrypted traffic goes to a GRE Tunnel. This morning I found some error messages in syslog.

%CONST_DIAG-SP-3-HM_TEST_FAIL: Module 1 TestIPSecEncrypDecrypPkt consecutive failure count:2

There were also several short tunnel downs/ups.

I wonder if there is a bug in the new IOS image 12.2(33)SXI2a. We upgraded to this image last weekend.

I hope someone can help.

Thanks

Roland

I think you should contact the TAC for this kind of problems.

Hello Roland,

What you're dealing with is software BUG in the IOS. This is the Cisco ID: CSCtg08523.

This problem doesn't affect user traffic so you shouldn't be worried too much for it. There is no workaround and you need to upgrade the IOS to solve it.
