System Error Message Formats
Error message formats for the switch are the same whether you are
accessing the information from the local RS-232 serial port or using a
remote telnet session.
Errors are listed in reverse chronological order. Up to 64 messages can be
held in the buffer. Once the buffer limit is exceeded, the oldest message is
deleted.
The
errShow
command displays all detected errors. The
errShow
command output provides more information than the front panel display.
The following information is displayed:
• Task ID
• Task name
• Date and time of the error
• Number of occurrences
• Error type
• Error level
• A description of the error
• The error number is displayed for diagnostic errors
Note
The error counter goes to a maximum of 999.
The display halts after each error is displayed, prompting you to either
press <Enter> to continue or type a Q to quit. Continue pressing
Enter
until the prompt (=>) is displayed. In Figure 1, Error 02 represents a system
error and Error 01 represents a diagnostic error (error number 004). Only
diagnostic errors are assigned error numbers.
Note
Duplicate error messages may be displayed in the shell if too many
error messages are received consecutively, but the data in
errShow/errDump, syslog, and snmp is correct.
