Chapter 1. System Message Overview
This guide describes the switch-specific system messages. During operation, the
system software sends these messages to the console (and, optionally, to a logging
server on another system). Not all system messages indicate problems with your
system. Some messages are purely informational, whereas others can help diagnose
problems with communications lines, internal hardware, or the system software. This
guide also includes error messages that appear when the system fails.
Note: The Catalyst 2950 switch messages listed in this guide also apply to the Cisco
Systems Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module.
This chapter contains these sections:
• How to Read System Messages, on page 7
• Error Message Traceback Reports, on page 9
How to Read System Messages
System messages begin with a percent sign (%) and are structured as follows:
%FACILITY-SEVERITY-MNEMONIC: Message-text
• FACILITY is a code consisting of two or more uppercase letters that show the
facility to which the message refers. A facility can be a hardware device, a
protocol, or a module of the system software.
Table 1 lists the system facility
codes.
