[c-nsp] EARL L2 ASIC Search Engine has failed

[Jason Lixfeld]

Hi Piotr,

Both linecards (including DFCs), chassis and power supplies were replaced.

The only common element left is the Supervisor.  The standby Supervisor was replaced on a prior RMA, but there has been no (obvious) indication on either the part of TAC or myself to suggest the active Supervisor is somehow responsible.

The chassis was rebooted this most recent time and has cleared the error and it hasn't resurfaced in the few days since, but that doesn't give me much comfort.

TAC's first inclination was bad hardware, so it was RMA'd, however the error showed up again a few days ago.  A reboot cleared it and I haven't seen it since, but it's still alarming that "brand new" hardware would show exactly the same error, of which I have never seen before in my life.
