Service-disruption hazard

Disconnecting cables and/or replacing circuit packs may disrupt service.

Perform the following to remove the affected circuit pack completely from the shelf and then re-seat the circuit pack.

Release both circuit pack latches.

The NP audit failed alarm can also be caused by excessive broadcast type Ethernet frames running through the network processor. The maximum through capacity of the LNW70/170 circuit pack is 9 Gigabits.

Using local procedures, customers should alter their network traffic patterns to reduce the amount of broadcast/multicast traffic being sent to the affected circuit pack.
