Hi

 

Apologies for the OT. I have a Catalyst 3550, 24 port with EMI Image, and
am getting the following error message (or at least I'm assuming it's an
error message) when it boots up. I also get the same message whenever I
type the command "show version"

 

Does anyone have any ideas what might be causing this message to appear?
The error appears as the last line in the show version output
