6 Cisco Systems Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module for the IBM Eserver BladeCenter System Message Guide
Chapter 1. System Message Overview This guide describes the switch-specific system messages. During operation, the system software sends these messages to the console (and, optionally, to a logging server on another system). Not all system messages indicate problems with your system. Some messages are purely informational, whereas others can help diagnose problems with communications lines, internal hardware, or the system software. This guide also includes error messages that appear when the system fails.
Table 1. Facility Codes (Continued).
This is a sample system message: %EC-5-UNBUNDLE:Interface Gi0/2 left the port-channel Po2 The messages in Chapter 2 “Message and Recovery Procedures,” are described in alphabetical order by facility code with the most severe (lowest number) errors described first. Error Message Traceback Reports Some messages describe internal errors and contain traceback information. This information is very important and should be included when you report a problem to your technical support representative.

SPAN-3-UNKN_ERR_PORT: An internal error occurred when configuring SPAN on port [chars].
SPANTREE-2-CHNL_MISCFG: Detected loop due to etherchannel misconfiguration of [chars] [chars] Explanation This message means that a loop that caused the misconfiguration of a channel group has been detected. An example of such a misconfiguration would be when the ports on one side of the EtherChannel either are not configured to be in the channel or failed to bundle for some reason. The other side has successfully bundled the ports into the EtherChannel.
SPANTREE-2-PVSTSIM_FAIL: Superior PVST BPDU received on VLAN [dec] port [chars], claiming root [dec]:[enet]. Invoking root guard to block the port. Explanation This message means that when a per-VLAN spanning-tree plus (PVST+) switch is connected to a Multiple Spanning Tree Protocol (MSTP) switch, the internal spanning-tree (IST) root (MST00) becomes the root for all PVST+ spanning trees. A loop might be created if any of the PVST+ spanning trees have a better root than the IST.
SPANTREE-2-ROOTGUARD_BLOCK: Root guard blocking port [chars] on [chars]. Explanation This message means that on the listed interface a BPDU was received 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.
This is performed by the STP subsystem at system initialization because the maximum number of ports on a particular platform does not change. The first [dec] is the number of bits for the port number, and the second and third [dec] describe the valid range. Response Find out more about the error by using the show tech-support privileged EXEC command and by copying the error message exactly as it appears on the console or system log and entering it in the Output Interpreter tool.

Response Verify that the configuration and operational states of the listed interface and those of the interface to which it is connected are in the same mode (access or trunk).
SPANTREE_FAST Messages This section contains the spanning-tree fast-convergence 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. Response No action is required.
SW_VLAN Messages This section contains the VLAN manager messages. The VLAN manager receives information from the VTP and enables the proper VLAN membership on all interfaces through the port manager. SW_VLAN-3-VLAN_PM_NOTIFICATION_FAILURE: VLAN Manager synchronization failure with Port Manager over [chars]. Explanation This message means that the VLAN manager dropped a notification from the port manager because of a lack of ready pool space. [chars] is the type of port manager notification.
SW_VLAN-4-BAD_VLAN_CONFIGURATION_FILE: VLAN configuration file contained incorrect verification word:[hex]. Explanation This message means that the VLAN configuration file read by the VLAN manager did not begin with the correct value. The VLAN configuration file is invalid, and it has been rejected. [hex] is the incorrect verification value.
SW_VLAN-4-EXT_VLAN_INTERNAL_ERROR: Extended VLAN manager received an internal error [dec] from [chars]: [chars]. Explanation This message means that an unexpected error code was received by the VLAN manager from the extended-range VLAN configuration software. [dec] is the error code. The first [chars] is the function, and the second [chars] describes the error code.
SW_VLAN-4-STARTUP_EXT_VLAN_CONFIG_FILE_FAILED: Failed to configure extended range VLAN from startup-config. Error [chars]. Explanation This message means that the VLAN software failed to use an extended-range VLAN configuration from the startup configuration file. All extended-range VLAN configurations are lost after the system boots up. [chars] is a description of the error code. Response No action is required.
