ACLMGR Messages
This section contains the access control list (ACL) manager messages. Most messages in this section are the result of a switch memory shortage, which includes hardware memory and label space but not CPU memory. Both kinds of memory shortages are described.
Error Message ACLMGR-2-NOMAP: Cannot create ACL Manager data structures for VLAN Map [chars].Explanation This message means that the ACL manager could not allocate the data structures needed to describe a VLAN map into a form that can be loaded into hardware. This error is most likely caused by lack of free memory. [chars] is the VLAN map name.
Recommended Action Reduce other system activity to ease memory demands.
Error Message ACLMGR-2-NOVLB: Cannot create memory block for VLAN [dec].Explanation This message means that the ACL manager could not save per-VLAN information needed for its correct operation. Some per-interface features, such as access groups or VLAN maps, will not be configured correctly. [dec] is the VLAN ID.
Recommended Action Use a less complicated configuration that requires less memory.
Error Message ACLMGR-2-NOVMR: Cannot generate hardware representation of access list [chars]Explanation This message means that available resources are not sufficient to create a hardware representation of the ACL. A lack of available logical operation units or specialized hardware resources can cause this problem. Logical operation units are needed for a TCP flag match or a test other than eq (ne, gt, lt, or range) on TCP, UDP, or SCTP port numbers.
Recommended Action Modify the ACL configuration to use fewer resources, or rename the ACL with a name or number that alphanumerically precedes the other ACL names or numbers.
Error Message ACLMGR-3-ACLTCAMFULL: Acl Tcam Full. Drop packets on Output Acl label [dec] on [chars] [chars].Explanation This message means that the platform-specific TCAM cannot support the number of configured ACLs. [dec] is the label number, the first [chars] is Layer 3, and the second [chars] is Layer 2. If only one layer of TCAM is full, only one string is displayed, and the other string is NULL.
Recommended Action Reduce the number of IP or MAC access lists to be applied to interfaces.
Error Message ACLMGR-3-AUGMENTFAIL: Augmenting of access-map [chars] on [chars] label [dec] failed.Explanation This message means that the system ran out of CPU DRAM when trying to merge internally required elements with the configured access maps. The first [chars] is the access-map name, the second [chars] is the direction in which the map was applied (input or output), and [dec] is the label number.
Recommended Action Reduce other system activity to ease memory demands.
Error Message ACLMGR-3-IECPORTLABELERROR: ACL labels are out-of-sync on interface [chars], label [dec] is not available on asic [dec].Explanation This message means that an internal software error has occurred. [chars] is the interface name. The first [dec] is the label associated with the ACL, and the second [dec] is the ASIC number.
Recommended Action Copy the message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log. Research and attempt to resolve the error by using the Output Interpreter. Use the Bug Toolkit to look for similar reported problems. If you still require assistance, open a case with the TAC, or contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information. For more information about these online tools and about contacting Cisco, see the "Error Message Traceback Reports" section.
Error Message ACLMGR-3-INSERTFAIL: Insert of access-map [chars] #[dec] into [chars] label [dec] failed.Explanation This message means that the system ran out of CPU memory when trying to merge sections of an access map. The first [chars] is the map name, and the second [chars] is the direction in which the map was applied. The first [dec] is the entry number, and the second [dec] is the label number.
Recommended Action Reduce other system activity to ease memory demands. For example, remove any ACLs that have been defined but not used. Use simpler ACLs with fewer access control entries (ACEs). Use fewer VLANs, and remove any unneeded VLANs from the VLAN database.
Error Message ACLMGR-3-INTTABLE: Not in truth table: VLMAP [dec] RACL [dec] Mcb [dec] Feat [dec].Explanation This message means that an unrecoverable software error occurred while trying to merge the configured input features. [dec] are internal action codes.
Recommended Action Copy the message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log. Research and attempt to resolve the error by using the Output Interpreter. Use the Bug Toolkit to look for similar reported problems. If you still require assistance, open a case with the TAC, or contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information. For more information about these online tools and about contacting Cisco, see the "Error Message Traceback Reports" section.
Error Message ACLMGR-3-MAXRECURSION: Too many ([dec]) levels of recursion while merging ACLs (code [dec]).Explanation This message means that the configuration is too complicated for the platform-specific ACL merge code to support. The most likely cause is too many separate access lists in a single VLAN map or policy map. The first [dec] is the number of levels of recursion. The second [dec] is an internal code number of the merge stage that encountered the problem.
Recommended Action Reduce the number of IP or MAC access lists (considered separately) in any one VLAN or policy map to fewer than the number of levels reported by this log message.
Error Message ACLMGR-3-MERGEFAIL: [chars] ACL merge error [dec] ([chars]) on [chars] label [dec].Explanation This message means that the ACL manager could not complete the merge of the configured features into a form suitable for loading into the hardware. Packets potentially affected by this feature will be sent to the CPU for processing. The most likely cause is specifying an ACL that is too large or too complex for the system. The first [chars] is the ACL-type error (ip or mac), the first [dec] is the error code, the second [chars] is the message string for the preceding error code, the second [dec] is the label number, and the third [chars] is either input or output.
Recommended Action Specify a smaller and less complicated configuration.
Error Message ACLMGR-3-NOLABEL: Cannot allocate [chars] label for interface [chars].Explanation This message means that the ACL manager could not allocate a label for the features on this interface. This means that the hardware cannot be programmed to implement the features, and packets for this interface will be filtered in software. There is a limit of 256 labels per direction. The first [chars] is the direction (input or output), and the second [chars] is the interface name.
Recommended Action Use a simpler configuration. Use the same ACLs on multiple interfaces, if possible.
Error Message ACLMGR-3-OUTTTABLE: Not in truth table: RACL [dec] VLMAP [dec].Explanation This message means that an unrecoverable software error occurred while trying to merge the configured output features. [dec] are internal action codes.
Recommended Action Copy the message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log. Research and attempt to resolve the error by using the Output Interpreter. Use the Bug Toolkit to look for similar reported problems. If you still require assistance, open a case with the TAC, or contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information. For more information about these online tools and about contacting Cisco, see the "Error Message Traceback Reports" section.
Error Message ACLMGR-3-QOSTTABLE: Not in truth table: ACL [dec] in map, action [dec].Explanation This message means that a software error occurred while trying to merge a quality of service (QoS) policy map. The first [dec] is the ACL number, and the second [dec] is the action corresponding to the specified ACL number.
Recommended Action Copy the message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log. Research and attempt to resolve the error by using the Output Interpreter. Use the Bug Toolkit to look for similar reported problems. If you still require assistance, open a case with the TAC, or contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information. For more information about these online tools and about contacting Cisco, see the "Error Message Traceback Reports" section.
Error Message ACLMGR-3-RELOADED: Reloading [chars] label [dec] feature.Explanation This message means that the ACL manager can now load more of the configured features on this label into the hardware. One or more features had previously been unloaded because of lack of space. [chars] is the direction (input or output), and [dec] is the label number.
Recommended Action No action is required.
Error Message ACLMGR-3-UNKNOWNACTION: Unknown VMR access group action [hex].Explanation This message means that an internal software error has occurred. [hex] is an internal action code.
Recommended Action Copy the message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log. Research and attempt to resolve the error by using the Output Interpreter. Use the Bug Toolkit to look for similar reported problems. If you still require assistance, open a case with the TAC, or contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information. For more information about these online tools and about contacting Cisco, see the "Error Message Traceback Reports" section.
Error Message ACLMGR-3-UNLOADING: Unloading [chars] label [dec] feature.Explanation This message means that the ACL manager could not load the complete configuration into the hardware, so some features will be applied in the software. Some or all of the packets in a VLAN are forwarded by the CPU. Multicast packets might be dropped entirely instead of being forwarded. [chars] is the direction (input or output), and [dec] is the label number.
Recommended Action Use a simpler configuration. Use the same ACLs on multiple interfaces, if possible.

SPANTREE Messages
Error Message SPANTREE-2-BLOCK_BPDUGUARD: Received BPDU on port [chars] with BPDU Guard enabled. Disabling port.Explanation This message means that a bridge protocol data unit (BPDU) was received on an interface that has the spanning tree BPDU guard feature enabled. As a result, the interface was administratively shut down. [chars] is the interface name.
Recommended Action Either remove the device sending BPDUs, or disable the BPDU guard feature. The BPDU guard feature can be locally configured on the interface or globally configured on all ports that have PortFast enabled. To disable BPDU guard on an interface, use the no spanning-tree bpduguard enable interface configuration command. To disable BPDU guard globally, use the no spanning-tree portfast bpduguard default global configuration command. After you have removed the device or disabled BPDU guard, re-enable the interface by entering the no shutdown interface configuration command.
Error Message SPANTREE-2-BLOCK_BPDUGUARD_VP: Received BPDU on port [chars], vlan [dec] with BPDU Guard enabled. Disabling vlan.Explanation A BPDU was received on the interface and the VLAN specified in the error message. The spanning tree BPDU guard feature was enabled and configured to shut down the VLAN. The VLAN was error disabled. [chars] is the interface, and [dec] is the VLAN.
Recommended Action Either remove the device sending BPDUs, or disable the BPDU guard feature. The BPDU guard feature can be configured locally on the interface or configured globally on all ports that have Port Fast enabled. Re-enable the interface and VLAN by entering the clear errdisable privileged EXEC command.
Error Message SPANTREE-2-BLOCK_PVID_LOCAL: Blocking [chars] on [chars]. Inconsistent local vlan.Explanation This message means that the spanning-tree port associated with the listed spanning-tree instance and interface will be held in the spanning-tree blocking state until the port VLAN ID (PVID) inconsistency is resolved. The listed spanning-tree instance is that of the native VLAN ID of the listed interface. The first [chars] is the interface, and the second [chars] is the spanning-tree instance.
Recommended Action Verify that the configuration of the native VLAN ID is consistent on the interfaces on each end of the 802.1Q trunk connection. When corrected, spanning tree automatically unblocks the interfaces, as appropriate.
Error Message SPANTREE-2-BLOCK_PVID_PEER: Blocking [chars] on [chars]. Inconsistent peer vlan.Explanation This message means that the spanning-tree port associated with the listed spanning-tree instance and interface will be held in the spanning-tree blocking state until the port VLAN ID (PVID) inconsistency is resolved. The listed spanning-tree instance is that of the native VLAN ID of the interface on the peer switch to which the listed interface is connected. The first [chars] is the interface, and the second [chars] is the spanning-tree instance.
Recommended Action Verify that the configuration of the native VLAN ID is consistent on the interfaces on each end of the 802.1Q trunk connection. When interface inconsistencies are corrected, spanning tree automatically unblocks the interfaces.
Error Message SPANTREE-2-CHNL_MISCFG: Detected loop due to etherchannel misconfiguration of [chars] [chars].Explanation This message means that a misconfiguration of a channel group has been detected. For example, the ports on one side of the EtherChannel either are not configured to be in the channel or did not bundle into the channel, and the other side has successfully bundled the ports into the EtherChannel. The first [chars] is the port, and the second [chars] is the VLAN.
Recommended Action Identify the local ports by using the show interfaces status err-disabled privileged EXEC command, and then check the EtherChannel configuration on the remote device by using the show etherchannel summary privileged EXEC command on the remote device. After the configuration is correct, enter the shutdown and then no shutdown interface configuration commands on the associated port-channel interfaces.
Error Message SPANTREE-2-LOOPGUARD_BLOCK: Loop guard blocking port [chars] on [chars].Explanation This message means that the spanning-tree message age timer has expired because no BPDUs were received from the designated bridge. Because this condition could be caused by a unidirectional-link failure, the interface is put into the blocking state and marked as loopguard-inconsistent to prevent possible loops from being created. The first [chars] is the port name, and the second [chars] is the spanning-tree mode displayed in the show spanning-tree privileged EXEC command.
Recommended Action Enter the show spanning-tree inconsistentports privileged EXEC command to review the list of interfaces with loopguard inconsistencies. Find out why devices connected to the listed ports are not sending BPDUs. One reason might be that they are not running the STP. If so, you should disable loop guard on the inconsistent interfaces by using the spanning-tree guard none interface configuration command or by starting the STP on the remote side of the links.
Error Message SPANTREE-2-LOOPGUARD_CONFIG_CHANGE: Loop guard [chars] on port [chars] on [chars].Explanation This message means that the spanning-tree loopguard configuration for the listed interface has been changed. If enabled, the interface is placed into the blocking state. It is marked as loopguard-inconsistent when the message-age timer expires because no BPDUs were received from the designated bridge. This feature is mainly used to detect unidirectional links. The first [chars] is the loopguard state (enable or disable), the second [chars] is the interface name, and the third [chars] is the spanning-tree instance.
Recommended Action Verify that this is the desired configuration for the listed interface. Correct it if this is not the desired configuration.
Error Message SPANTREE-2-LOOPGUARD_UNBLOCK: Loop guard unblocking port [chars] on [chars].Explanation This message means that the listed interface has received a BPDU. If the inconsistency was caused by a unidirectional link failure, the problem no longer exists. The loopguard-inconsistency is cleared for the interface, which is taken out of the blocking state, if appropriate. The first [chars] is the port name, and the second [chars] is the spanning-tree mode displayed in the show spanning-tree privileged EXEC command.
Recommended Action No action is required.
Error Message SPANTREE-2-PVSTSIM_FAIL: Blocking [chars] port [chars]: Inconsistent [chars] PVST BPDU received on VLAN [dec], claiming root [dec]:[enet]Explanation This message means that the specified port on the multiple spanning-tree (MST) switch is blocked. When a designated port on an MST switch is connected to a PVST+ switch, the CIST (MST00) information on the port of the MST switch must be consistently superior (lower bridge ID, lower path cost, and so forth) to the information in all the PVST+ messages. If the port is the root, the CIST (MST00) information on the MST switch must be consistently inferior to all the PVST+ messages. If this constraint is violated, the port on the MST switch is blocked to prevent a potential bridging loop. The first [chars] is the MST switch, the second [chars] is the port, and the third [chars] is the PVST+ switch. The first [dec] is the VLAN ID, the second [dec] is the MST switch, and [enet] is the MST-switch MAC address.
Recommended Action When STP is converging after a new switch or switch port is added to the topology, this condition might happen briefly. In such cases, the port unblocks automatically. If the port remains blocked, identify the root bridge as reported in the message, and configure the appropriate priority for the VLAN spanning tree, consistent with the CIST role on the port of the MST switch.
There could be additional inconsistencies not shown in the message, and the port does not recover until all these are cleared. To determine which other VLANs have inconsistencies, disable and re-enable the port. This message appears again and specifies another VLAN with inconsistencies to be fixed. Repeat this process until all inconsistencies on all VLANs are cleared.
Error Message SPANTREE-2-PVSTSIM_OK: PVST Simulation inconsistency cleared on port [chars].Explanation This message means that the specified interface is no longer receiving PVST BPDUs advertising information that is inconsistent with the CIST port information. The PVST simulation inconsistency is cleared, and the interface returns to normal operation. [chars] is the port.
Recommended Action No action is required.
Error Message SPANTREE-2-RECV_1Q_NON_1QTRUNK: Received 802.1Q BPDU on non 802.1Q trunk [chars] [chars].Explanation This message means that the interface that received a Shared Spanning Tree Protocol (SSTP) BPDU was in trunk mode but was not using 802.1Q encapsulation. The first [chars] is the interface, and the second [chars] is the VLAN.
Recommended Action Verify that the configuration and operational state of the listed interface and that of the interface to which it is connected are in the same mode (access or trunk). If the mode is trunk, verify that both interfaces have the same encapsulation (ISL or IEEE 802.1Q). If the encapsulation types are different, use the switchport trunk encapsulation interface configuration command to make them consistent. When the encapsulation is consistent, spanning tree automatically unblocks the interface.
Error Message SPANTREE-2-RECV_BAD_TLV: Received SSTP BPDU with bad TLV on [chars] [chars].Explanation This message means that the listed interface received an SSTP BPDU without the VLAN ID tag. The BPDU is discarded. The first [chars] is the interface, and the second [chars] is the VLAN that received the SSTP BPDU.
Recommended Action If this message recurs, Copy the message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log. Research and attempt to resolve the error by using the Output Interpreter. Use the Bug Toolkit to look for similar reported problems. If you still require assistance, open a case with the TAC, or contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative with the gathered information. For more information about these online tools and about contacting Cisco, see the "Error Message Traceback Reports" section.
Error Message SPANTREE-2-RECV_PVID_ERR: Received BPDU with inconsistent peer vlan id [dec] on [chars] [chars].Explanation This message means that the listed interface received an SSTP BPDU that is tagged with a VLAN ID that does not match the VLAN ID that received the BPDU. This occurs when the native VLAN is not consistently configured on both ends of an 802.1Q trunk. [dec] is the VLAN ID, the first [chars] is the port, and the second [chars] is the VLAN.
Recommended Action Verify that the configurations of the native VLAN ID is consistent on the interfaces on each end of the 802.1Q trunk connection. When the configurations are consistent, spanning tree automatically unblocks the interfaces.
Error Message SPANTREE-2-ROOTGUARD_BLOCK: Root guard blocking port [chars] on [chars].Explanation This message means that the listed interface received a BPDU that advertises a superior spanning-tree root bridge (lower bridge ID, lower path cost, and so forth) than that in use. The interface is put into blocking state and marked as root-guard inconsistent to prevent a suboptimal spanning-tree topology from forming. The first [chars] is the port name, and the second [chars] is the spanning-tree mode displayed in the output of the show spanning-tree privileged EXEC command.
Recommended Action Enter the show spanning-tree inconsistentports privileged EXEC command to review the list of interfaces with root-guard inconsistencies. Find out why devices connected to the listed ports are sending BPDUs with a superior root bridge, and take action to prevent more occurrences. When the inaccurate BPDUs have been stopped, the interfaces automatically recover and resume normal operation. Make sure that it is appropriate to have root guard enabled on the interface.
Error Message SPANTREE-2-ROOTGUARD_CONFIG_CHANGE: Root guard [chars] on port [chars] on [chars].Explanation This message means that the spanning-tree root guard configuration for the listed interface has changed. If enabled, any BPDU received on this interface that advertises a superior spanning-tree root bridge (lower bridge ID, lower path cost, and so forth) to that already in use causes the interface to be put into the blocking state and marked as root-guard inconsistent. The first [chars] is the root-guard state (enable or disable), the second [chars] is the interface, and the third [chars] is the spanning-tree instance.
Recommended Action Verify that this is the desired configuration for the listed interface. Correct it if it is not the desired configuration.
Error Message SPANTREE-2-ROOTGUARD_UNBLOCK: Root guard unblocking port [chars] on [chars].Explanation This message means that the listed interface is no longer receiving BPDUs advertising a superior root bridge (lower bridge ID, lower path cost, and so forth). The root-guard inconsistency is cleared for the interface, and the blocking state is removed from the interface. The first [chars] is the port name, and the second [chars] is the spanning-tree mode displayed in show spanning-tree privileged EXEC command.
Recommended Action No action is required.
Error Message SPANTREE-2-UNBLOCK_CONSIST_PORT: Unblocking [chars] on [chars]. Port consistency restored.Explanation This message means that the port VLAN ID or port type inconsistencies have been resolved, and spanning tree will unblock the listed interface of the listed spanning-tree instance. The first [chars] is the interface, and the second [chars] is the spanning-tree instance.
Recommended Action No action is required.
Error Message SPANTREE-3-BAD_PORTNUM_SIZE: Rejected an attempt to set the port number field size to [dec] bits (valid range is [dec] to [dec] bits).Explanation This message means that an error occurred in the platform-specific code that caused it to request more or less bits than are possible. The spanning-tree port identifier is a 16-bit field, which is divided evenly between the port priority and port number, with each subfield being 8 bits. This allows the port number field to represent port numbers between 1 and 255. However, on systems with more than 255 ports, the size of port number portion of the port ID must be increased to support the number of ports. This is performed by the spanning-tree subsystem at system initialization because the maximum number of ports on a particular platform will not change. This error occurs because of an error in the platform-specific code, which causes it to request more or less bits than are possible. The first [dec] is the number of bits for the port number, and the second and third [dec] describe the valid range.
Recommended Action Copy the message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log. Research and attempt to resolve the error by using the Output Interpreter. Use the Bug Toolkit to look for similar reported problems.

This means that a port might be looped back to itself, possibly because of an installed diagnostic cable. The interface will be administratively shut down. [chars] is the interface that received the BPDU, and [enet] is the source MAC address.
Recommended Action Verify the interface configuration and test any cable connected to the interface. When the problem is resolved, re-enable the interface by entering the no shutdown interface configuration command.
Error Message SPANTREE-3-PRESTD_NEIGH: pre-standard MST interaction not configured ([chars]).Explanation This message means that the switch has received a prestandard MST BPDU on an interface that is not configured to send prestandard MST BPDUs. The switch automatically adjusts its configuration on the interface and starts sending prestandard BPDUs. However, the switch does not automatically detect all prestandard neighbors, and we recommend that you configure the interface to send prestandard MST BPDUs by using the spanning-tree mst pre-standard interface configuration command. This warning message only appears once. [chars] is the interface.
Recommended Action Use the spanning-tree mst pre-standard interface configuration command on all the interfaces to which other switches running Cisco's prestandard MST version are connected. We recommend that you migrate all the switches in the network to the IEEE MST standard version.
