GBIC_SECURITY_CRYPT Messages
This section contains the Cisco GBIC module and SFP module security messages. The switch recognizes
the module as a Cisco module but identifies another problem with it.
Note The Catalyst 3750, 3560, 2975, 2970, and 2960 switch supports SFP modules and does not support GBIC
modules. Although the error message text refers to GBIC interfaces and modules, the messages from the
switch actually refer to the SFP module interfaces and modules.
Error Message GBIC_SECURITY_CRYPT-4-ID_MISMATCH: Identification check failed for
GBIC interface [chars].
Explanation The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module was identified as a Cisco SFP module,
but the system could not verify its identity. [chars] is the port.
Recommended Action Ensure that the Cisco IOS software running on the switch supports the SFP
module. You might need to upgrade your software. Otherwise, verify that the SFP module was
obtained from Cisco or from a supported vendor.
Error Message GBIC_SECURITY_CRYPT-4-UNRECOGNIZED_VENDOR: GBIC interface [chars]
manufactured by an unrecognized vendor.
Explanation The small form-factor pluggable (SFP) module was identified as a Cisco SFP module,
but the switch could not match its manufacturer with one on the known list of Cisco SFP module
vendors. [chars] is the port.
Recommended Action Ensure that the Cisco IOS software running on the switch supports the SFP
module. You might need to upgrade your software.
