Error Message
PM-4-ERR_RECOVER_VP: Attempting to recover from [chars] err-disable

the VLAN ID.
Recommended Action
Copy the message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log.
Research and attempt to resolve the error using the Output Interpreter. Use the Bug Toolkit to look

Error Message
PM-4-EXT_VLAN_INUSE: VLAN [dec] currently in use by [chars].
Explanation
This message means that the port manager failed to allocate the VLAN for external use
because the VLAN is being used by another feature. [dec] is the VLAN that is being used, and
[chars] is the feature that is using it.
Recommended Action
Reconfigure the feature (for example, the routed port) to use another internal
VLAN or to request another available VLAN.
Error Message
PM-4-EXT_VLAN_NOTAVAIL: VLAN [dec] not available in Port Manager.
Explanation
This message means that the port manager failed to allocate the requested VLAN. The
VLAN is probably being used as an internal VLAN by other features. [dec] is the requested VLAN.
Recommended Action
Try to configure a different VLAN on the device.
Error Message

for the switch port and VLAN, causing the port to be in an inactive state. The reason for this
condition is specified in the error message. The first [chars] is the interface name, and the second
[chars] is the reason.
Recommended Action
Copy the message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log.
