SPANTREE Messages
Error Message SPANTREE-2-RECV_PVID_ERR: Received BPDU with inconsistent peer vlan id
[dec] on [chars] [chars].
Explanation This message means that the listed interface received an SSTP BPDU that is tagged with
a VLAN ID that does not match the VLAN ID that received the BPDU. 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 This message means that 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 This message means that 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.
Error Message SPANTREE-2-ROOTGUARD_UNBLOCK: Root guard unblocking port [chars] on
[chars].
Explanation This message means that the listed interface is no longer receiving BPDUs advertising
a superior root bridge (lower bridge ID, lower path cost, and so forth). The root-guard inconsistency
is cleared for the interface, and the blocking state is removed from the interface. The first [chars] is
the port name, and the second [chars] is the spanning-tree mode displayed in show spanning-tree
privileged EXEC command.
Recommended Action No action is required.
