Chapter 2 Message and Recovery Procedures

SPANTREE_VLAN_SW Messages

The 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

The number of currently active VLAN spanning-tree instances has reached a

platform-specific limit. No additional VLAN instances will be created until the number of existing

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

[chars] is the smallest VLAN ID of those VLANs that are unable to have spanning-tree instances

created.

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

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.

Error Message STORM_CONTROL-3-SHUTDOWN: A packet storm was detected on [chars]. The

interface has been disabled.

Explanation

The amount of traffic detected on the interface has exceeded the configured threshold

values. Because the interface is configured to shut down if a packet storm event is detected, it has

been placed in an error-disabled state. [chars] is the affected interface.

Recommended Action You can enable error-disabled recovery by using the errdisable recovery

global configuration command to automatically re-enable the interface. You should determine and

fix the root cause of the excessive traffic on the interface.
