• The current device log will be shown in the Device Logs window
above the
Show Logs
button.
• The status messages shown in the log relate to possible Ethernet
port flapping, and will also alert you if duplicate IP addresses are
present in the LAN. Refer to the text below for a description of the
log messages.
NOTE
Ethernet port flapping is an issue in which the Ethernet
port goes offline and comes back online at an
excessively high rate within a given time period.
Some possible causes of this problem may be auto-
negotiation issues, chipset incompatibility, or faulty
CAT5/6 cabling.
Some status messages that may be shown in the log have the following
meanings:
•
ethX phy:X is up/down:
Ethernet port X is currently online/offline.
•
chatter: VBR: duplicate IP A? MACX --> MAXY at <timestamp>:
Possible duplicate IP address 'A' has migrated from MAC address
'X' to MAC address 'Y', at the time shown.
