[c-nsp] FWSM - status unknown

[szilard csordas]

I already tried the power enable command, this was the output:

%C6KPWR-SP-4-UNSUPPORTED: unsupported module in slot 1, power not
allowed: Unknown Card Type.

According the "show power" output the box has sufficient power to
supply a new module, and the same module was working in this chassis
for 6-7mounts.

Router#sh power
system power total =     3795.12 Watts (90.36 Amps @ 42V)
system power used =      1341.06 Watts (31.93 Amps @ 42V)
system power available = 2454.06 Watts (58.43 Amps @ 42V)


Of course, I tested the module in the other slot and in the other
chassis as well. I got the same result. There is one more thing I
could check...I could insert a different good module (e.g ethernet)
into the particular slot.
Is it possible that the switch fabric is damaged just on those slots?
Also in the other box? It would be extremly extraordinary! :)
Even then shouldn't it fall back to the shared 32G bus?

Thanks for the comments.

rgs,
