DOT1X_SWITCH Messages

Error Message DOT1X-5-ERR_TRUNK: Dot1x can not be enabled on Trunk port.

Explanation

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

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

trunk port, which is not allowed.

Recommended Action Disable trunking on the interface, and try to re-enable IEEE 802.1x

authentication on the port.

Error Message DOT1X-5-ERR_VLAN_INVALID: The VLAN [dec] is invalid and cannot be

assiged for use on the Dot1x port [chars] Vlan

Explanation

The specified VLAN is out of range and cannot be assiged as an IEEE 802.1x port. [dec]

is the VLAN, and [chars] is the IEEE 802.1x port.

Recommended Action Reconfigure the configuration to use a valid VLAN.

Error Message DOT1X-5-INVALID_INPUT: Dot1x Interface parameter is Invalid on

interface [chars].

Explanation

The IEEE 802.1x interface parameter is out of the specified range or is invalid. [chars]

is the interface.

Recommended Action Refer to the CLI help documentation to determine the valid IEEE 802.1x

parameters.

Error Message DOT1X-5-INVALID_MAC: Invalid MAC address(drop, zero, broadcast or

multicast mac address) [enet] is trying to authenticate.

Explanation Authentication using IEEE 802.1x is not allowed for zero, broadcast, and multicast

source MAC addresses. [enet] is the invalid MAC address.

Recommended Action Connect an IEEE 802.1x supported host to the IEEE 802.1x enabled port.

DOT1X_SWITCH Messages

This section contains the IEEE 802.1x messages for switches.

Error Message DOT1X_SWITCH-5-ERR_ADDING_ADDRESS: Unable to add address [enet] on

[chars]

Explanation The supplicant MAC address could not be added because the hardware is full, or the

address exists as a secure address on another port. [enet] is the supplicant MAC address, and [chars]

is the interface.

Recommended Action If the hardware is full, remove some dynamic addresses. If the supplicant

address is secured on another port, manually remove it from that port.
