%PXF_ACL-2-WS_ACL_TOO_MANY_ACES
: More than [int] ACEs are present. Failed to
allocate [chars]. New ACEs will be treated as 'deny's and counters will not be
maintained properly.
Explanation More ACEs are present than are supported by the platform. For any ACE configured
above this limit, the action will be treated as deny and counters will not be maintained properly. The
number of ACEs supported is shown in the message. ACEs that were previously configured but have
been unconfigured without a reload might count against this limit, as will internal ACEs created by
the router when the QoS class-map command is configured.
Recommended Action Reload the router and reduce the number of configured ACEs. When the limit
has been reached, any ACEs that are subsequently configured will be treated as having a deny
action. This condition cannot be resolved without reloading the system. You can determine how
many ACEs are currently configured by entering the test c7300 acl command if you are using a
Cisco IOS Release earlier than 12.2(25)S or the test platform acl command in later releases. In the
output of the command, look for the line with the text name = ACL_REAL_ACE. The number that
is shown below this line, next to alloced, indicates the number of ACEs that are currently
configured. The number next to max indicates the maximum number of ACEs that can be
configured.

Explanation When the router processed a configuration command to add an IP address range to a
VRF selection table, the router could not complete the command. The message shows the reason.
Recommended Action Reasons for this to happen could be software errors and resource problems.
Should the message indicate that memory allocation failed, then try reducing the number of IP
addresses or address ranges or try making them less specific. If this does not solve the problem, you
might need to install more memory in the router.
Error Message
%PXF_VRFS-6-NOHWNODE
: No PXF node resource available to add IP address range
Explanation When adding an IP address range to a VRF selection table, PXF could not allocate a
node structure for the IP address range shown in the message. The reason for this is that too many
addresses have been added already and PXF has run out of resources for VRF-Select to maintain a
larger number of addresses.
Recommended Action Try reducing the number of IP addresses or address ranges or try making them
less specific. If this does not solve the problem then you might need to turn PXF off or use a
non-PXF routing engine.
Error Message
%PXF_VRFS-6-NONODE
: No node resource available for [IP_address]/[IP_address]
Explanation When adding an IP address range to a VRF selection table the router could not allocate

addresses have been added already and the router has run out of resources for VRF-Select to
maintain a larger number of addresses.
Recommended Action Try reducing the number of IP addresses or address ranges or try making them
less specific. If this does not solve the problem, you might need to install more memory in the router.
