Chapter 2 Message and Recovery Procedures
SPANTREE Messages
Error Message SPANTREE-2-UNBLOCK_CONSIST_PORT: Unblocking [chars] on [chars]. Port
consistency restored.
Explanation This message means that the port VLAN ID or port type inconsistencies have been
resolved, and spanning tree will unblock the listed interface of the listed spanning-tree instance. The
first [chars] is the interface, and the second [chars] is the spanning-tree instance.
Recommended Action No action is required.
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 This message means that an error occurred in the platform-specific code that caused 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.
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, contact HP technical support and
provide the representative with the gathered information. For more information about the online
tools and about contacting HP, see the
“Error Message Traceback Reports” section on page 1-5.
Error Message SPANTREE-3-PORT_SELF_LOOPED: [chars] disabled.- received BPDU src mac
([enet]) same as that of interface.
Explanation This message means that a BPDU was received on the listed interface 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 This message means that 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 IEEE MST standard version.
