Cisco 7600-ES+20G3C

Im not sure how to word this post.

The cisco  7600-ES+20G3C  modules running on c7600rsp72043-advipservicesk9-mz.122-33.SRD4.bin have been misbehaving on me. Here's a short list of issues I've had:

One started spewing out the following:
Feb 10 13:37:11.536: %C7600_ES-DFC9-5-BRIDGE_ASIC_INTR: The Bridge-ASIC-AR[0] interrupt asserted. Addr[0x0200]=0x00000004
Feb 10 13:37:11.544: %C7600_ES-DFC9-5-BRIDGE_ASIC_INTR: The Bridge-ASIC-AR[0] interrupt asserted. Addr[0x0200]=0x00000004
Feb 10 13:37:13.524: %C7600_ES-DFC9-5-BRIDGE_ASIC_INTR: The Bridge-ASIC-AR[0] interrupt asserted. Addr[0x0200]=0x00000004

Feb 10 13:37:13.552: %C7600_ES-DFC9-5-BRIDGE_ASIC_INTR: The Bridge-ASIC-AR[0] interrupt asserted. Addr[0x0200]=0x00000004
Im talking a gagomoth of informational lines, the alarms were not service affecting, Our syslog server was obviously not amused. Note this only happened on one 7609-s (out of more than 20 ). We ended up swapping the module that cooled things off, figuring out along the way that it was due to a bug -CSCtc16746 (that oly affected that node:-)) - weird.

- one 20 port module somehow lost functionality on half the ports. I assume there's a chip that controls that half that just conked out.
- Another one just 'died' dead dead dead..no light, nothing...it had been working fine, unfortunately that was just before we had installed an external syslog server. So clueless on what happened.

(all modules were replaced by cisco in time and we keep spares).

Im just trying to figure our if Im the only one going through some wacky do's with the ES+20 modules.

Other than that some of the QOS features we have implemented would probably never be possible on other modules....so I still love them):...Moral of the story if any: Pay for support specifically support that replaces modules for you within the shortest time possible.

*PS if you have SAMI blades running STP or GGSN or CSG, let me know how thats working out for you too...
