Messages Related to PIM Operation
Messages Related to PIM Operation
These messages appear in the Event Log and, if Syslog Debug is configured,
in the designated Debug destinations.
N o t e
The
<
counter
>
value displayed at the end of each PIM Event Log message (and
SNMP trap messages, if trap receivers are configured) indicates the number
of times the switch has detected a recurring event since the last reboot. For
more information, refer to “Using the Event Log To Identify Problem Sources”
in the “Troubleshooting” appendix of the February, 2004 (or later) version of
the
Management and Configuration Guide for your switch.
Message Meaning
< alpha-string >
pkt, src IP
< ip-addr >
vid
A PIM packet arrived from another router for which no
< vlan-id >
(not a nbr) (<
counter
>)
neighbor was found. May indicate a misconfiguration
between the sending and receiving router. May also occur
if a connected router is disconnected, then reconnected.
Bad TTL in State Refresh pkt from IP
The switch detected a TTL of 0 (zero) in the PIM portion of
< source-ip-addr >
(<
counter

a state refresh packet. (Note that this is not the IP TTL.)
Failed alloc of HW
< alpha-str >
for flow
There are more than 1022 active flows. The switch routes

< source-address >
the excess through software, which processes traffic at a
slower rate. If this will be an ongoing or chronic condition,
(<
dup-msg-cnt
>)
transfer some of the flows to another router.
Failed to alloc a PIM
< data-type >
pkt
The router was unable to allocate memory for a PIM control
(<
counter
>)
packet. Router memory is oversubscribed. Reduce the
number of VLANs or increase the hello delay and/or the
override interval to reduce the number of simultaneous
packet transmissions. Note that if the number of flows
exceeds 1022, the excess flows are routed in software,
which reduces the number of packet transmissions. In this
case, reducing the number of flows by moving some clients
to other routers can help.
