System Message Overview
This guide describes the switch-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 indicate problems with your system. Some messages are purely informational, whereas others
can help diagnose problems with communications lines, internal hardware, or the system software. This
guide also includes error messages that appear when the system fails.
For information about Cisco IOS system messages that are not specific to this switch, see the Cisco IOS Software System Messages for Cisco IOS Release 12.2 on www.cisco.com.
This chapter contains these sections:
•How to Read System Messages, page 1-1
•Error Message Traceback Reports, page 1-6
How to Read System Messages
CHA P T ER
1
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 are displayed in this format:
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 a code consisting of 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 switch-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.

•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.

How to Read System Messages
All syslog messages generated by a Catalyst Switch Module 3110 other than the master switch are
displayed ending with (Switch-x) where Switch-x is the number of the stack member generating the
message. Syslog messages generated by the master switch are displayed with no hostname string.
This example shows a partial switch system message on a Catalyst Switch Module 3012:
00:00:46: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Port-channel1, changed state to up
00:00:47: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface GigabitEthernet0/1, changed state to up

Message and Recovery Procedures
This chapter describes the switch system messages in alphabetical order by facility. Within each facility,
the messages are listed by severity levels 0 to 7: 0 is the highest severity level, and 7 is the lowest severity
level. Each message is followed by an explanation and a recommended action.
The messages listed in this chapter do not include the hostname or the date/time stamp designation that
displays only if the software is configured for system log messaging.

ACLMGR Messages
This section contains the access control list (ACL) manager messages. Most messages in this section are
the result of a switch memory shortage, which includes hardware memory and label space but not CPU
memory. Both kinds of memory shortages are described.
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 in 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.
ACLMGR Messages
Recommended Action Reduce other system activity to ease memory demands.
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 create VMR data structures for access list
[chars].
Explanation The ACL manager was unable to allocate the value-mask result (VMR) data structures
needed to describe an ACL in a form that can be loaded into hardware. This error is most likely
caused by lack of available memory. [chars] is the access-list name.
Recommended Action Use a less complicated configuration that requires less memory.
Error Message ACLMGR-3-ACLTCAMFULL: Acl Tcam Full. Drop packets on Output Acl label
[dec] on [chars] [chars].
Explanation There are too many ACLs configured for the platform-specific ACL hardware table to
support. [dec] is the label number, and [chars] is the layer. The first [chars] is for Layer 3; the second
is for Layer 2. If only the Layer 2 or Later 3 hardware table is full, only one string appears, and the
other string is
NULL.
OL-12191-01
Recommended Action Reduce the number of IP or MAC access lists to be applied to interfaces.

ACLMGR Messages
Chapter 2 Message and Recovery Procedures
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.

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 (incoming or outgoing) 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 are not now 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]

Chapter 2 Message and Recovery Procedures
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.
Explanation The ACL manager was unable to 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 instead. 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.
ACLMGR Messages
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); 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 A software error occurred while trying to merge the configured output features. The first
and second [dec] are the internal action codes.
Recommended Action Copy the message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log.

Cisco Catalyst Switch Module 3110 and 3012 for IBM BladeCenter System Message Guide
Explanation The ACL manager was unable to fit the complete configuration into the hardware, so
some features will be applied in software. This prevents some or all of the packets in a VLAN from
being forwarded in hardware and requires them to be 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.

to the port, or there might be a loop in the network. [chars] is the port.
ETHCNTR Messages
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 bring the port up 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

Error Message SPANTREE-2-BLOCK_PVID_LOCAL: Blocking [chars] on [chars]. Inconsistent
local vlan.
Explanation The spanning-tree port associated with the listed spanning-tree instance and interface
will be held in the spanning-tree blocking state until the port VLAN ID (PVID) inconsistency is
resolved. The listed spanning-tree instance is that of the native VLAN ID of the listed interface. The
first [chars] is the interface, and the second [chars] is the spanning-tree instance.
Recommended Action Verify that the configuration of the native VLAN ID is consistent on the
interfaces on each end of the IEEE 802.1Q trunk connection. When corrected, spanning tree
automatically unblocks the interfaces, as appropriate.
Error Message SPANTREE-2-BLOCK_PVID_PEER: Blocking [chars] on [chars]. Inconsistent

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.
SPANTREE Messages
Recommended Action Verify that this is the desired configuration for the listed interface. Correct it if
this is not the desired configuration; otherwise, no further action is required.
Error Message SPANTREE-2-LOOPGUARD_UNBLOCK: Loop guard unblocking port [chars] on
[chars].
Explanation The listed interface has received a BPDU, and therefore, 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. 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 No action is required.

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 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.
Recommended Action When STP is converging 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. 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.
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 VL4ANs 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.
Error Message SPANTREE-2-RECV_1Q_NON_1QTRUNK: Received 802.1Q BPDU on non 802.1Q
trunk [chars] [chars].
Explanation The listed interface on which a Shared Spanning Tree Protocol (SSTP) BPDU was
received was in trunk mode but was not using IEEE 802.1Q encapsulation. The first [chars] is the
port, 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 IEEE 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.

[dec] on [chars] [chars].
Explanation The listed interface received an SSTP BPDU that is tagged with a VLAN ID that does
not match the VLAN ID on which the BPDU was received. This occurs when the native VLAN is
not consistently configured on both ends of an IEEE 802.1Q trunk. [dec] is the VLAN ID, the first
[chars] is the port, and the second [chars] is the VLAN.

Recommended Action Verify that the configurations of the native VLAN ID is consistent on the
interfaces on each end of the IEEE 802.1Q trunk connection. When the configurations are
consistent, spanning tree automatically unblocks the interfaces.
Error Message SPANTREE-2-ROOTGUARD_BLOCK: Root guard blocking port [chars] on
[chars].
Explanation On the listed interface, a BPDU was received 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.

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
(enable or disable), the second [chars] is the interface, 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
it is not the desired configuration; otherwise, no action is required.
Error Message SPANTREE-2-ROOTGUARD_UNBLOCK: Root guard unblocking port [chars] on
