Error Messages

This chapter explains the error message formats and possible errors associated

with switch diagnostics. This section includes:

■ System error message formats

■ Diagnostic error message formats

■ Error message tables

System Error Message Formats

There are two error message formats depending on whether you are gathering

information from the front panel or through a Telnet session. In all cases, the

last error encountered is the first error displayed. Up to 64 messages are held

in a buffer. If the 64-message limit is exceeded, the messages are overwritten

in a first in, first out sequence.

Front Panel Format

When errors display on the front panel, the first line indicates the date and

time the error occurred. The second line displays the module name (Diag),

error name (REGERR_UNRST), and the severity level (1). The possible

severity levels are:

■ 1—Critical

■ 2—Error

■ 3—Warning
