Power and Memory Allocation errors on a 3550

%SYS-2-MALLOCFAIL & %ILPOWER-3-CONTROLLER ERR

I received these two errors today on a 3550 Running CCME

--%ILPOWER-3-CONTROLLER ERR

This Error is due to power spike on an interface most probably from an IP phone, causing the power controller to go down shut and then no shut the interface. proper grounding for the IP phone.

--%SYS-2-MALLOCFAIL

The Error is due to unavailability of the free memory block, a process is trying to write data on for details see.

About us

The blog features the core concepts and labs based on self exploration and study. It would normally be focusing upon Voice scenarios in order to clear the concepts and as well as some Routing & switching stuff which will always be handy to have acquaintance with. It was mainly built to have a common platform where peers can post in their evaluations in regards with Voice & data and the knowledge that has been acquired after number of years of experience by digging it down to the root level. Later on, it was decided that it should be used to share any network related material that can also help in brushing other skills.
