System Message Overview

This guide describes the Catalyst 3750, 3560, 3550, 2975, 2970, 2960, and 2960-S-specific system messages. During operation, the system software sends these messages to the console (and, optionally, to a logging server on another system). Not all system messages mean problems with your system. Some messages are informational, and others can help diagnose problems with communications lines, internal hardware, or the system software.

Note

For information about system messages that are not Catalyst 3750, 3560, 3550, 2975, 2970, 2960, or

2960-S platform-specific, see the Cisco IOS Software System Messages for Cisco IOS Release 12.2S on www.cisco.com.

Error Message Traceback Reports, page 1-9

How to Read System Messages

System log messages can contain up to 80 characters and a percent sign (%), which follows the optional sequence number or time-stamp information, if configured. Messages appear in this format:

seq no:timestamp: %facility-severity-MNEMONIC:description (hostname-n) (only Catalyst 3750, 2975, and 2960-S switches)

seq no:timestamp: %facility-severity-MNEMONIC:description (switches other than Catalyst 3750,

2975, and 2960-S switches)

By default, a switch sends the output from system messages to a logging process. In a switch stack, stack members append their hostnames to the output from system messages and redirect the output to the logging process on the stack master.

Each system message begins with a percent sign (%) and is structured as follows:

%FACILITY-SEVERITY-MNEMONIC: Message-text

•

FACILITY is two or more uppercase letters that show the facility to which the message refers. A

facility can be a hardware device, a protocol, or a module of the system software. Table 1-1 lists

Catalyst 3750, 3560, 3550, 2975, 2970, 2960, and 2960-S-specific facility codes.

These messages are described in

Chapter 2, “Message and Recovery Procedures,” in alphabetical

order by facility code, with the most severe (lowest number) errors described first.

MNEMONIC is a code that uniquely identifies the message.

Message-text is a text string describing the condition. This portion of the message sometimes contains detailed information about the event, including terminal port numbers, network addresses, or addresses that correspond to locations in the system memory address space. Because the information in these variable fields changes from message to message, it is represented here by short strings enclosed in square brackets ([ ]). A decimal number, for example, is represented as [dec].

Table 1-3

lists the variable fields in messages.

Error Message ACLMGR-2-NOMAP: Cannot create ACL Manager data structures for VLAN Map

[chars].

Explanation

The ACL manager could not allocate the data structures needed to describe a VLAN map into a form that can be loaded into hardware. This error is most likely caused by lack of free memory. [chars] is the VLAN map name.

Recommended Action

Reduce other system activity to ease memory demands.

Chapter 2 Message and Recovery Procedures

Error Message ACLMGR-2-NOVLB: Cannot create memory block for VLAN [dec].

Explanation

The ACL manager could not save per-VLAN information needed for its correct operation. Some per-interface features, such as access groups or VLAN maps, will not be configured correctly. [dec] is the VLAN ID.

Recommended Action

Use a less complicated configuration that requires less memory.

Error Message ACLMGR-2-NOVMR: Cannot generate hardware representation of access list

[chars]

Explanation

Available resources are not sufficient to create a hardware representation of the ACL. A lack of available logical operation units or specialized hardware resources can cause this problem.

Logical operation units are needed for a TCP flag match or a test other than eq (ne, gt, lt, or range) on TCP, UDP, or SCTP port numbers.

Recommended Action

Modify the ACL configuration to use fewer resources, or rename the ACL with a name or number that alphanumerically precedes the other ACL names or numbers.

Error Message ACLMGR-3-ACLTCAMFULL: Acl Tcam Full. Drop packets on Output Acl label

[dec] on [chars] [chars].

Note

This message applies only to the Catalyst 3750, 3560, 2975, 2970, and 2960 switches.

Explanation

The platform-specific ACL TCAM cannot support the number of configured ACLs.

[dec] is the label number, and [chars] represents the layer. The first [chars] is for Layer 3, and the second for Layer 2. If only one layer of TCAM is full, only one string is displayed, and the other string is NULL.

Recommended Action

Reduce the number of IP or MAC access lists to be applied to interfaces.

Error Message ACLMGR-3-AUGMENTFAIL: Augmenting of access-map [chars] on [chars] label [dec] failed.

Explanation

The system ran out of CPU DRAM when trying to merge internally required elements with the configured access maps. The first [chars] is the access-map name, the second [chars] is the direction in which the map was applied (input or output), and [dec] is the label number.

Recommended Action

Reduce other system activity to ease memory demands.

Error Message ACLMGR-3-IECPORTLABELERROR: ACL labels are out-of-sync on interface

[chars], label [dec] is not available on asic [dec].

Explanation

An internal software error has occurred. [chars] is the interface name. The first [dec] is the label associated with the ACL, and the second [dec] is the ASIC number.

Recommended Action

Copy the message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log.

Research and attempt to resolve the error by using the Output Interpreter. Use the Bug Toolkit to look for similar reported problems. If you still require assistance, open a case with the TAC, or

Error Message ACLMGR-3-INSERTFAIL: Insert of access-map [chars] #[dec] into [chars] label [dec] failed.

Explanation

The system ran out of CPU memory when trying to merge sections of an access map.

The first [chars] is the map name, and the second [chars] is the direction in which the map was applied. The first [dec] is the entry number, and the second [dec] is the label number.

Recommended Action

Reduce other system activity to ease memory demands. For example, remove any ACLs that have been defined but not used. Use simpler ACLs with fewer access control entries

(ACEs). Use fewer VLANs, and remove any unneeded VLANs from the VLAN database.

Error Message ACLMGR-3-INTTABLE: Not in truth table: VLMAP [dec] RACL [dec] Mcb [dec]

Error Message ACLMGR-3-MAXRECURSION: Too many ([dec]) levels of recursion while merging ACLs (code [dec]).

Explanation

The configuration is too complicated for the platform-specific ACL merge code to support. The most likely cause is too many separate access lists in a single VLAN map or policy map. The first [dec] is the number of levels of recursion. The second [dec] is an internal code number of the merge stage that encountered the problem.

Recommended Action

Reduce the number of IP or MAC access lists (considered separately) in any one VLAN or policy map to fewer than the number of levels reported by this log message.

Chapter 2 Message and Recovery Procedures

Error Message ACLMGR-3-MERGEFAIL: [chars] ACL merge error [dec] ([chars]) on [chars] label [dec].

Explanation

The ACL manager could not complete the merge of the configured features into a form suitable for loading into the hardware. Packets potentially affected by this feature will be sent to the

CPU for processing. The most likely cause is specifying an ACL that is too large or too complex for the system. The first [chars] is the ACL-type error (ip or mac), the first [dec] is the error code, the second [chars] is the message string for the preceding error code, the second [dec] is the label number, and the third [chars] is either input or output.

Recommended Action

Specify a smaller and less complicated configuration.

Error Message ACLMGR-3-NOLABEL: Cannot allocate [chars] label for interface [chars].

Explanation

The ACL manager could not allocate a label for the features on this interface. This means that the hardware cannot be programmed to implement the features, and packets for this interface will be filtered in software. There is a limit of 256 labels per direction. The first [chars] is the direction (input or output), and the second [chars] is the interface name.

Recommended Action

Use a simpler configuration. Use the same ACLs on multiple interfaces, if possible.

Error Message ACLMGR-3-OUTTTABLE: Not in truth table: RACL [dec] VLMAP [dec].

Explanation

An unrecoverable software error occurred while trying to merge the configured output features. [dec] are internal action codes.

Error Message ACLMGR-3-UNLOADING: Unloading [chars] label [dec] feature.

Explanation

The ACL manager could not load the complete configuration into the hardware, so some features will be applied in the software. Some or all of the packets in a VLAN are forwarded by the

CPU. Multicast packets might be dropped entirely instead of being forwarded. [chars] is the direction (input or output), and [dec] is the label number.

Recommended Action

Use a simpler configuration. Use the same ACLs on multiple interfaces, if possible.

Explanation

A keepalive packet is looped back to the port that sent the keepalive. The loopback condition might be caused by a balun cable being accidentally connected to the port, or there might be a loop in the network. [chars] is the port.

Recommended Action

Examine the cables. If a balun cable is connected, and the loopback condition is desired, no action is required. Otherwise, connect the correct cable, and restart the port by entering the no shutdown interface configuration command. We do not recommend using the no keepalive interface command to disable keepalives. The cause of this network loop must be found and corrected. Although disabling keepalives prevents the port from being error-disabled, it does not resolve the cause of the problem and can affect network stability. See CSCea46385 for more information.

Error Message FM-3-MAXRECURSION: Too many ([dec]) levels of recursion while merging

[chars] (code [dec]).

Note

This message applies only to Catalyst 3550 switches.

Explanation

The configuration is too complicated for the platform-specific ACL merge code to support. The most likely cause is too many separate access lists in a single VLAN map or policy map. The first [dec] is the number of levels of recursion. [chars] describes the merge stage that encountered the problem, such as VLAN map, Global Input, Global Output, or QoS Map. The second [dec] is an internal code number of the merge stage that encountered the problem.

Recommended Action

VLAN or policy map to fewer than the number of levels reported by this log message.

Error Message FM-3-MERGEFAIL: [chars] ACL merge error [dec] ([chars]) on [chars] label [dec].

Note

This message applies only to Catalyst 3550 switches.

Explanation

The feature manager could not merge the configured features into a form suitable for loading into the hardware. Packets potentially affected by this feature are sent to the CPU for processing. The CPU processing needed to uphold the overflowed ACL severely degrades performance. The first [chars] is the ACL-type error (ip or mac), the first [dec] is the error code, the second [chars] is the message string for the preceding error code, the second [dec] is the label number, and the third [chars] is either input or output.

Recommended Action

Reorganize the ACLs so that all entries fit into hardware. Use less complicated and fewer ACLs.

FRNTEND_CTRLR Messages

Error Message FM-4-EXCESSSECONDARY: More than [dec] secondary IP addresses configured on interface [chars].

Note

This message applies only to Catalyst 3550 switches.

Explanation

When secondary IP addresses are configured on an interface and you enable Internet

Control Message Protocol (ICMP) redirects for packets received on that interface, the ICMP redirect function on the CPU is not usually notified of packets sent between two different subnets on the same interface. If too many secondary IP addresses are configured on the interface this message is logged, and in addition to being notified about packets that cause the generation of an ICMP redirect, the CPU is also notified about every packet routed between two different subnets that are both on the interface. No ICMP redirects will be sent in error, but the CPU usage might increase because of the additional notifications. [dec] is the limit of secondary IP addresses, and [chars] is the specified interface.

Recommended Action

You can use the no ip redirects interface configuration command on the interface named in the message to reduce the CPU load on the system.

Error Message SPANTREE-2-BLOCK_BPDUGUARD: Received BPDU on port [chars] with BPDU

Guard enabled. Disabling port.

Explanation

A bridge protocol data unit (BPDU) was received on an interface that has the spanning tree BPDU guard feature enabled. The interface was administratively shut down. [chars] is the interface name.

Recommended Action

Either remove the device sending BPDUs, or disable the BPDU guard feature.

The BPDU guard feature can be locally configured on the interface or globally configured on all ports that have Port Fast enabled. To disable BPDU guard on an interface, use the no spanning-tree

bpduguard enable interface configuration command. To disable BPDU guard globally, use the no

spanning-tree portfast bpduguard default global configuration command. After you have

removed the device or disabled BPDU guard, re-enable the interface by entering the no shutdown interface configuration command.

Explanation

A misconfiguration of a channel group has been detected. For example, the ports on one side of the EtherChannel either are not configured to be in the channel or did not bundle into the channel, and the other side has successfully bundled the ports into the EtherChannel. The first

[chars] is the port, and the second [chars] is the VLAN.

Recommended Action

Use the show interfaces status err-disabled privileged EXEC command to identify the local ports, and use the show etherchannel summary privileged EXEC command on the remote device to check the EtherChannel configuration. After the configuration is correct, enter the shutdown and then no shutdown interface configuration commands on the associated port-channel interfaces.

Error Message SPANTREE-2-LOOPGUARD_BLOCK: Loop guard blocking port [chars] on

[chars].

Explanation

The spanning-tree message age timer has expired because no BPDUs were received from the designated bridge. Because this condition could be caused by a unidirectional-link failure, the interface is put into the blocking state and marked as loopguard-inconsistent to prevent possible loops from being created. The first [chars] is the port name, and the second [chars] is the spanning-tree mode displayed in the show spanning-tree privileged EXEC command.

Recommended Action

Enter the show spanning-tree inconsistentports privileged EXEC command to review the list of interfaces with loopguard inconsistencies. Find out why devices connected to the listed ports are not sending BPDUs. One reason might be that they are not running the STP. If so, you should disable loop guard on the inconsistent interfaces by using the spanning-tree guard

none interface configuration command or by starting the STP on the remote side of the links.

Error Message SPANTREE-2-LOOPGUARD_CONFIG_CHANGE: Loop guard [chars] on port [chars] on [chars].

Explanation

The spanning-tree loopguard configuration for the listed interface has been changed. If enabled, the interface is placed into the blocking state. It is marked as loopguard-inconsistent when the message-age timer expires because no BPDUs were received from the designated bridge. This feature is mainly used to detect unidirectional links. The first [chars] is the loopguard state (enable or disable), the second [chars] is the interface name, and the third [chars] is the spanning-tree instance.

Recommended Action

Verify that this is the desired configuration for the listed interface. Correct it if this is not the desired configuration.

Explanation

The listed interface has received a BPDU. If the inconsistency was caused by a unidirectional link failure, the problem no longer exists. The loopguard-inconsistency is cleared for the interface, which is taken out of the blocking state, if appropriate.

Error Message SPANTREE-2-PVSTSIM_FAIL: Blocking [chars] port [chars]: Inconsistent

[chars] PVST BPDU received on VLAN [dec], claiming root [dec]:[enet]

Explanation

The specified port on the multiple spanning-tree (MST) switch is blocked. When a designated port on an MST switch is connected to a PVST+ switch, the CIST (MST00) information on the port of the MST switch must be consistently superior (lower bridge ID, lower path cost, and so forth) to the information in all the PVST+ messages. If the port is the root, the CIST (MST00) information on the MST switch must be consistently inferior to all the PVST+ messages. If this constraint is violated, the port on the MST switch is blocked to prevent a potential bridging loop.

The first [chars] is the MST switch, the second [chars] is the port, and the third [chars] is the PVST+ switch. The first [dec] is the VLAN ID, the second [dec] is the MST switch, and [enet] is the

MST-switch MAC address.

Recommended Action

When STP converges after a new switch or switch port is added to the topology, this condition might happen briefly. In such cases, the port unblocks automatically. If the port remains blocked, identify the root bridge as reported in the message, and configure the appropriate priority for the VLAN spanning tree, consistent with the CIST role on the port of the MST switch.

There could be additional inconsistencies not shown in the message, and the port does not recover until all these are cleared. To determine which other VLANs have inconsistencies, disable and re-enable the port. This message appears again and specifies another VLAN with inconsistencies to be fixed. Repeat this process until all inconsistencies on all VLANs are cleared.

Error Message SPANTREE-2-PVSTSIM_OK: PVST Simulation inconsistency cleared on port

[chars].

Explanation

The specified interface is no longer receiving PVST BPDUs advertising information that is inconsistent with the CIST port information. The PVST simulation inconsistency is cleared, and the interface returns to normal operation. [chars] is the port.

Recommended Action

No action is required.

Explanation

The interface that received a Shared Spanning Tree Protocol (SSTP) BPDU was in trunk mode but was not using 802.1Q encapsulation. The first [chars] is the interface, and the second

[chars] is the VLAN.

Recommended Action

Verify that the configuration and operational state of the listed interface and that of the interface to which it is connected are in the same mode (access or trunk). If the mode is trunk, verify that both interfaces have the same encapsulation (ISL or 802.1Q). If the encapsulation types are different, use the switchport trunk encapsulation interface configuration command to make them consistent. When the encapsulation is consistent, spanning tree automatically unblocks the interface.

Explanation

The listed interface received a BPDU that advertises a superior spanning-tree root bridge (lower bridge ID, lower path cost, and so forth) than that in use. The interface is put into blocking state and marked as root-guard inconsistent to prevent a suboptimal spanning-tree topology from forming. The first [chars] is the port name, and the second [chars] is the spanning-tree mode displayed in the output of the show spanning-tree privileged EXEC command.

Recommended Action

Enter the show spanning-tree inconsistentports privileged EXEC command to review the list of interfaces with root-guard inconsistencies. Find out why devices connected to the listed ports are sending BPDUs with a superior root bridge, and take action to prevent more occurrences. When the inaccurate BPDUs have been stopped, the interfaces automatically recover and resume normal operation. Make sure that it is appropriate to have root guard enabled on the interface.

Error Message SPANTREE-2-ROOTGUARD_CONFIG_CHANGE: Root guard [chars] on port [chars] on [chars].

Explanation

The spanning-tree root guard configuration for the listed interface has changed. If enabled, any BPDU received on this interface that advertises a superior spanning-tree root bridge

(lower bridge ID, lower path cost, and so forth) to that already in use causes the interface to be put into the blocking state and marked as root-guard inconsistent. The first [chars] is the root-guard state

SPANTREE Messages

Error Message SPANTREE-3-BAD_PORTNUM_SIZE: Rejected an attempt to set the port number field size to [dec] bits (valid range is [dec] to [dec] bits).

Explanation

An error occurred in the platform-specific code that caused it to request more or less bits than are possible. The spanning-tree port identifier is a 16-bit field, which is divided evenly between the port priority and port number, with each subfield being 8 bits. This allows the port number field to represent port numbers between 1 and 255. However, on systems with more than

255 ports, the size of port number portion of the port ID must be increased to support the number of ports. This is performed by the spanning-tree subsystem at system initialization because the maximum number of ports on a particular platform will not change. This error occurs because of an error in the platform-specific code, which causes it to request more or less bits than are possible.

The first [dec] is the number of bits for the port number, and the second and third [dec] describe the valid range.

Recommended Action

Copy the message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log.

Error Message SPANTREE-3-PORT_SELF_LOOPED: [chars] disabled.- received BPDU src mac

([enet]) same as that of interface.

Explanation

The listed interface received a BPDU with a source MAC address that matches the one assigned to the listed interface. This means that a port might be looped back to itself, possibly because of an installed diagnostic cable. The interface will be administratively shut down. [chars] is the interface that received the BPDU, and [enet] is the source MAC address.

Recommended Action

Verify the interface configuration, and test any cable connected to the interface.

When the problem is resolved, re-enable the interface by entering the no shutdown interface configuration command.

Error Message SPANTREE-3-PRESTD_NEIGH: pre-standard MST interaction not configured

([chars]).

Explanation

The switch has received a prestandard MST BPDU on an interface that is not configured to send prestandard MST BPDUs. The switch automatically adjusts its configuration on the interface and starts sending prestandard BPDUs. However, the switch does not automatically detect all prestandard neighbors, and we recommend that you configure the interface to send prestandard MST

BPDUs by using the spanning-tree mst pre-standard interface configuration command. This warning message only appears once. [chars] is the interface.

Recommended Action

Use the spanning-tree mst pre-standard interface configuration command on all the interfaces to which other switches running Cisco's prestandard MST version are connected.

We recommend that you migrate all the switches in the network to the MST standard version.

Modify the EtherChannel configuration to remove a channel group, and use that channel-group number to configure interfaces connected to the wireless LAN controller.

Error Message WRLSCNTR-3-VERSION_ERR: Switch and wireless controller are using incompatible versions.

Note

This message applies only to Catalyst 3750 switches.

Explanation

The switch software is not fully compatible with the software on the wireless LAN controller. Some functionality might not be available.

Recommended Action

Update the software on the switch or on the wireless LAN controller so that the software versions are compatible.
