DOT1X Messages

This section contains the IEEE 802.1x messages.

Error Message DOT1X-4-MEM_UNAVAIL: Memory was not available to perform the

802.1X action.

Explanation

The system memory is not sufficient to perform IEEE 802.1x authentication.

Recommended Action Reduce other system activity to reduce memory demands. If the switch does

not have enough memory, upgrade to a larger memory configuration.

Error Message DOT1X-4-PROC_START_ERR: Dot1x unable to start.

Explanation

The system failed to start the IEEE 802.1x process.

Recommended Action Restart the IEEE 802.1x process by entering the dot1x system-auth-control

global configuration command. If this message recurs, reload the device.

Error Message DOT1X-4-UNKN_ERR: An unknown operational error occurred.

Explanation The IEEE 802.1x process cannot operate because of an internal system error.

Recommended Action Reload the device.

Error Message DOT1X-5-ERR_CHANNELLING: Dot1x cannot be enabled on Channelling ports.

Explanation

IEEE 802.1x authentication could not be enabled on the EtherChannel port. This

occurred because the switch tried to set IEEE 802.1x port control to auto or to force-unauthorized

mode on the channel port, which is not allowed.

Recommended Action Disable the EtherChannel on the interface and then try to re-enable

IEEE 802.1x authentication.

Error Message DOT1X-5-ERR_DYNAMIC: Dot1x cannot be enabled on Dynamic ports.

Explanation

IEEE 802.1x authentication could not be enabled on the dynamic-mode port. This

occurred because the switch tried to set IEEE 802.1x port-control to auto or force-unauthorized

mode on a dynamic mode port, which is not allowed.

Recommended Action Disable dynamic mode on the interface, and then try IEEE 802.1x

authentication.
