Chapter 2 Message and Recovery Procedures

SPANTREE_FAST Messages

This section contains the spanning-tree fast-convergence message.

Error Message SPANTREE_FAST-7-PORT_FWD_UPLINK: [chars] [chars] moved to Forwarding

(UplinkFast).

Explanation This message means that the listed interface has been selected as the new path to the

root switch for the listed spanning-tree instance. The first [chars] is the spanning-tree instance, and

the second [chars] is the interface.

Recommended Action No action is required.

SPANTREE_VLAN_SW Messages

This section contains the per-VLAN spanning-tree-specific message.

Error Message SPANTREE_VLAN_SW-2-MAX_INSTANCE: Platform limit of [dec] STP instances

exceeded. No instance created for [chars] (port [chars]).

Explanation This message means that the number of currently active VLAN spanning-tree instances

has reached a platform-specific limit. No additional VLAN instances are created until the existing

number of instances drops below the platform limit. [dec] is the spanning-tree instance limit, the

first [chars] is the smallest VLAN ID of those VLANs that cannot have spanning-tree instances

created, and the second [chars] is the port number.

Recommended Action Reduce the number of currently active spanning-tree instances by either

disabling some of the currently active spanning-tree instances or deleting the VLANs associated

with them. You must manually enable the spanning trees that could not be created because of limited

instances.

STORM_CONTROL Messages

This section contains the storm control messages.

Error Message STORM_CONTROL-3-FILTERED: A [chars] storm detected on [chars]. A

packet filter action has been applied on the interface.

Explanation This message means that the amount of traffic detected on the interface has exceeded

the configured threshold values. The system is filtering the excess traffic. The first [chars] is the

traffic type, and the second [chars] is the interface.

Recommended Action Determine and fix the root cause of the excessive traffic on the interface.
