Multicast and Routing Guide K/KA/KB.15.15

MeaningMessage
Indicates a hardware problem. Check the cabling and
router ports.
MCAST MAC add for mac-address
failed (counter)
Indicates a hardware failure that halts hardware
processing of PIM traffic. The software will continue to
Multicast Hardware Failed to
Initialize (counter)
process PIM traffic at a slower rate. Contact your HP
customer care center.
PIM has detected a VLAN without an IP address.
Configure an IP address on the indicated VLAN.
No IP address configured on VID
vlan-id (dup-msg-cnt)
A PIM packet from ip-address was dropped
because of one of the following causes:
Pkt dropped from ip-address ,
( cause ) vid vlan-id (counter)
• No PIM interface on the VLAN
• Bad packet length
• Bad IP header length
• Bad IP total length
A packet having a checksum error was received from
ip-address. Check the cabling and ports on the local
and the remote routers.
Pkt rcvd with a cksum error from
ip-addr (counter)
Indicates receipt of a malformed hello packet. (That is,
the packet does not match the current specification.)
Rcvd incorrect hello from
ip-addr (counter)
Ensure that compatible versions of PIM-DM are being
used.
A peer router may be sending incorrectly formatted PIM
packets.
Rcvd text-str pkt with bad len
from ip-addr (counter)
Indicates a misconfiguration where two routers are
directly connected with different subnets on the same
connected interface.
Rcvd hello from ip-address
on vid vlan-id (counter)
A packet received from the router at ip-address is an
unknown PIM packet type. (The value variable is the
numeric value received in the packet.)
Rcvd pkt from rtr ip-address ,
unkwn pkt type value (counter)
The versions of PIM-DM on the sending and receiving
routers do not match. Differing versions are typically
Rcvd pkt ver# ver-num ,
from ip-address , expected
ver-num (counter)
compatible, but features not supported in both versions
will not be available.
The router received a PIM packet with an unrecognized
encoding. As of February 2004, the router recognizes
IPv4 encoding.
Rcvd unkwn addr fmly addr-type
in text-str pkt from
ip-addr (counter)
The router received a PIM packet carrying an unknown
PIM option. The packet may have been generated by a
Rcvd unkwn opt opt-nbr
in text-string pkt from
ip-addr (counter)
newer version of PIM-DM or is corrupt. In most cases,
normal PIM-DM operation will continue.
Indicates a send error on a packet. This can occur if a
VLAN went down right after the packet was sent. The
Send error( failure-type )
on packet-type pkt on VID
vid ( counter)
message indicates the failure type, the packet type, and
the VLAN ID on which the packet was sent.
The router was not able to create some tables PIM-DM
uses. Indicates that the router is low on memory
Unable to alloc text-str
table (counter)
resources. Remedies include one or more of the
following:
• Reduce the number of configured VLANs by moving
some VLANs to another router.
• Free up system resources by disabling another
feature, such as one of the spanning-tree protocols
