GVRP-0
GVRP-0-NOMBUF: no mbuf to [chars]
Explanation This message indicates that GVRP failed to notify VTP when a
VLAN was created or deleted. The problem occurred when VTP ran out of
message buffer space; [chars] indicates the message body.
Action Try reinitializing the VTP configuration by toggling between VTP
server mode and transparent mode. If the problem persists, you might need
to reset or power cycle the switch.
GVRP-2
GVRP-2-DISABLEDYNVLANCREATE: Disable dynamic VLAN creation
temporarily since non-dot1q or non-GVRP trunk [dec]/[dec]
exists
Explanation This message indicates that there is at least one non-dot1q or
non-GVRP trunk existing on the switch. GVRP will temporarily disable the
dynamic VLAN creation, even though the dynamic VLAN creation is
configured as enabled; [dec]/[dec] is the first non-dot1q trunk module/port
detected by GVRP.
Action You should either disable dynamic VLAN creation or configure all
trunk ports to dot1q.
GVRP-2-RESUMEDYNVLANCREATE: Resume dynamic vlan creation since
the last non-dot1q or non-GVRP trunk [dec]/[dec] is removed
Explanation This message indicates that GVRP detects that all trunk ports are
dot1q or GVRP. GVRP resumes dynamic VLAN creation if dynamic VLAN
creation is enabled on the switch; [dec]/[dec] is the last disappearing
non-dot1q trunk module and port detected by GVRP.
Action This message is provided for information only.
GVRP-3
GVRP-3-CREATEPROCESSFAILED: failed to create GVRP process
Explanation This message indicates that the GVRP process was not
completed successfully when the system was initialized or the GVRP was set
to enabled. The switch may have encountered resource allocation problems.
Action You should disable GVRP on the switch, and then retry it later when
the system is more stable. If the problem recurs, you might need to reset or
power cycle the switch.
GVRP-3-CREATEVLANNONETHERNET: can not create non-Ethernet VLAN
[dec]
Explanation This message indicates that a received GVRP join message
contains a new VLAN number that is not an Ethernet VLAN currently
existing on the switch; [dec] is the non-Ethernet VLAN number.
Action You must either reassign the VLAN number to an Ethernet, or correct
the VLAN configuration on the peer side of the GVRP device for VLAN
consistency.
GVRP-3-CREATEVLANNOTALLOWED: dynamically adding VLAN [dec] not
allowed
Explanation This message indicates that a received GVRP join message
contains a new VLAN number that is not allowed because dynamic VLAN
creation is not enabled on the switch; [dec] is the new VLAN number.
Action You must enable the dynamic VLAN creation so that the new VLAN
can be added to the switch.
GVRP-3-CREATEVLANSUSPENDED: can not create suspended VLAN [dec]
Explanation This message indicates that a received GVRP join message
contains a new VLAN number that is already suspended on the switch; [dec]
indicates the suspended VLAN number.
Action You can remove the suspended VLAN to allow it to be dynamically
recreated or you can reactivate the suspended VLAN.
GVRP-3-DELETEVLANNONEXISTING: can't delete or withdraw
non-existing VLAN [dec]
Explanation This message indicates that the VLAN to be deleted or
withdrawn by the GVRP or VLAN configuration does not exist. No VLAN
deletion is required for GVRP; [dec] is the non-existent VLAN number.
Action You must specify a valid VLAN number.
GVRP-3-LOSTTRUNKEVT: TRUNK creation/deletion event lost for
TRUNK [dec]/[dec]
Explanation This message indicates that VTP does not receive the request
sent by GVRP because the VTP queue is full or the VTP task is not running;
[dec]/[dec] is the module number/port number.
Action Contact your technical support representative.
GVRP-3-LOSTVLANEVT: vlan creation/deletion event lost for vlan
[dec]
Explanation This message indicates that a received GVRP join message
contains a new VLAN number that needs to be created dynamically and
GVRP failed to notify VTP for the VLAN creation. The error can also occur
when GVRP wants to delete a VLAN and fails to notify VTP about the
deletion. The problem occurs when the VTP message queue is full; [dec] is
the new VLAN number.
Action Try reinitializing the VTP configuration by toggling between VTP
server mode and transparent mode. If the problem persists, you might need
to reset or power cycle the switch.
GVRP-3-RECVNONGVRPTRUNK: drop GVRP PDU received on non-GVRP
port [dec]/[dec]
Explanation This message indicates that a GVRP protocol data unit (PDU)
frame received from a GVRP-disabled port was dropped because the port
was not running GVRP; [dec]/[dec] is the module number/port number that
received the GVRP PDU frame.
Action You should check the peer side of the GVRP device for consistent
GVRP configuration. Either the module/port should be set to GVRP enable
or the peer side should be set to GVRP disabled.
GVRP-3-RECVVTPGVRPTRUNK: Drop VTP PDU received on GVRP port
[dec]/[dec]
Explanation This message indicates that a VTP message was received on a
GVRP trunk and that the message was dropped because of a
misconfiguration between the switches (one switch configured as VTP and
the other switch configured as GVRP); [dec]/[dec] is the module
number/port number.
Action Configure the same type of trunk (GVRP or VTP) on all connected
ports.

control. [dec] is the socket number.
Action You should remove or block the source of the TCP packets to prevent
further TCP packet loss.
IP-6-UDP_SOCKOVFL: UDP socket overflow from Source IP:[chars],

[dec] - Timeout
Explanation This message indicates that the router port timer has timed out
and the router port entry has been removed; [dec/dec] is the router module
number/port number, and [dec] is the VLAN number. This problem might be
due to the switch not receiving any router-specific packets (IGMP general
queries, PIMV1 queries, DVMRP probes, PIMV2 hellos, or MOSPF hellos).
