VPDN Messages

The following are Virtual Private Dialup Networking (VPDN) error messages.

Error Message  

%VPDN-6-AUTHENERR : [chars] [chars] [chars] cannot authenticate for [chars] [chars] [chars][chars][chars]

Explanation    The NAS/LAC or HGW/LNS is unable to locate a AAA server for the purposes of authenticating the user or tunnel. This error indicates that the router was unable to establish a network connection with the designated server. This error message may contain a reason string that identifies the point of failure.

Recommended Action    Check the AAA configuration on the NAS/LAC or HGW/LNS and the network connectivity to the AAA server.

Error Message  

%VPDN-6-AUTHENFAIL : [chars] [chars] [chars], [atalk_address]uthentication failure [chars]for [chars] [chars] [chars][chars][chars]

Explanation    The NAS/LAC or HGW/LNS has failed to authenticate a user or a tunnel, or the HGW/LNS has failed authentication with the client that initiated the session. For errors that involve user or tunnel authentication failures, this error message will contain a reason string that identifies the point of failure.

Recommended Action    If the HGW/LNS is failing authentication check the username configuration on the NAS/LAC or HGW/LNS and possibly even on the client. Removing the negotiation of outbound authentication (for example, by authenticating the user only in the inbound direction) is one possible solution. If AAA is applicable, check the AAA configuration on the NAS/LAC or HGW/LNS and network connectivity to the AAA server.

The TSC will be unable to create a VC with that VPI or VCI, and no data will be transmitted or received on the associated XTagATM TVC. The new VC may be on either the primary interface or a subinterface.

Recommended Action    Reconfigure the new VC so that it does not fall into the range reserved for the TSC, or reconfigure the VPI/VCI range on the TSC-controlled ATM switch so that it excludes the VPI/VCI of the new VC.

Error Message  

%XTAGATM-4-OLDVCINRANGE : VC exists on [chars] in range reserved for TSC (VPIs [int]-[int], VCIs [int]-[int])

Explanation    An existing VC has a VPI or VCI that is in the range configured for use by the TSC on the TSC-controlled ATM switch. The TSC will be unable to create a VC with that VPI/VCI, and no data will be transmitted or received on the associated XTagATM TVC. The existing VC may be on either the primary interface or a subinterface. This message is issued only once, even if there are multiple existing VCs in the reserved range.

Recommended Action    Reconfigure the existing VCs so that they do not fall into the range reserved for the TSC, or reconfigure the VPI/VCI range on the controlled switch so that it excludes the VPI/VCIs of existing VCs.

Error Message 

%XTAGATM-3-SWITCHVPI : [chars]; switch VPI range ([dec]-[dec]) outside usable range ([dec]-[dec])

Explanation    The VPI range that has been configured for tag switching on the TSC-controlled ATM switch does not overlap the range of VPI values that the TSC can support. This error will prevent a TDP session from being established on this interface.

Recommended Action    Reconfigure the VPI range on the controlled switch so that it overlaps the range of VPI values that the TSC can support.
