Error Message     

%AT-3-DOMLOOP : Loop detected on domain [dec] [[chars]]

Explanation    The domain router detected a routing loop. Routing loops are not allowed. The domain router runs a background loop detection process. The domain router starts this process when it receives a new zone list from a domain that is identical to the list in the main routing table and whose network range length matches that in this list. The loop detection process sends several AppleTalk Name Binding Protocol (NBP) loopback packets. When one of these packets is received on an interface that does not belong to the original domain, the domain router first shuts off all the domains involved in the loop, and then shuts off all the interfaces in these domains. The loop detection does not catch all types of loops. It is your responsibility to make sure that no loop exists.

Recommended Action    Disable the cause of the routing loop. Then use the clear appletalk command to restart the interfaces involved.

Error Message     

%AT-3-DOMOVERFLOW : Remap range overflow for [chars] domain [dec]

Explanation    The remap range overflowed. If a network (range) cannot fit inside the remapping range, the network or cable range being advertised by a neighboring router is not accepted. When an overflow occurs, all interfaces in the domain are disabled.

Recommended Action    Use the appletalk domain remap-range command to increase the remapping range. Then restart the interfaces.

Error Message     

%AT-5-DUPADDR : [chars]: AppleTalk interface restarting; node address taken by [sci_notation]
