RETAIN tip H176191
RSA event logs continually reports the following:
"IP: Unknown Higher layer protocol"
The system might be any of the following IBM eServer xSeries servers:
- An xSeries 440, type 8687, any model
- An xSeries 360, type 8686, any model
- An xSeries 350, type 8682, any model
- An xSeries 342, type 8669, any model
- An xSeries 330, type 8675, any model
- An xSeries 330, type 8674, any model
- An xSeries 330, type 8654, any model
- An xSeries 232, type 8668, any model
- An xSeries 220, type 8646, any model
- An xSeries 220, type 8645, any model
- An xSeries 200, type 8481, any model
- An xSeries 200, type 8479, any model
- An xSeries 200, type 8478, any model
The system is configured with the Remote Supervisor Adapter, option part number 09N7585, replacement part number (FRU) 59P2952.
The Firmware level(s) 1.03 or earlier is affected.
This behavior will be corrected in the next Firmware release for the RSA.
The target date for the release is scheduled for the third quarter in 2002. It will be available from the http://www.ibm.com/systems/support Web site. Search on Remote Supervisor Adapter Firmware.
The error appears in the logs when the RSA's TCP/IP stack receives an IP packet that it does not know how to interpret. This error is informational only will be removed in the next release of the firmware.
