DOT1X_SWITCH Messages
This section contains the DOT1X_SWITCH Messages.
Error Message
DOT1X_SWITCH-5-ERR_ADDING_ADDRESS: Unable to add address [enet] on
[chars]
Explanation
The client MAC address could not be added to the MAC address table because the
hardware memory is full or the address is a secure address on another port. [enet] is the supplicant
MAC address, and [chars] is the interface. This message might appear if the IEEE 802.1x feature is
enabled.
Recommended Action
If the hardware memory is full, remove some of the dynamic MAC addresses.
If the client address is on another port, manually remove it from that port.
Error Message
DOT1X_SWITCH-5-ERR_INVALID_PRIMARY_VLAN: Attempt to assign primary
VLAN [dec] to 802.1x port [chars]
Explanation
An attempt was made to assign a primary VLAN to an IEEE 802.1x port, which is not
allowed. [dec] is the VLAN, and [chars] is the port.
Recommended Action
Update the configuration to use a different VLAN.
Error Message
DOT1X_SWITCH-5-ERR_INVALID_SEC_VLAN: Attempt to assign invalid
secondary VLAN [dec] to PVLAN host 802.1x port [chars]
Explanation
An attempt was made to assign a nonsecondary VLAN to a private VLAN host IEEE
802.1x port. [dec] is the VLAN, and [chars] is the port.
Recommended Action
Change the mode of the port so that it is no longer a private VLAN host port,
or use a valid secondary VLAN.
Error Message
DOT1X_SWITCH-5-ERR_PRIMARY_VLAN_NOT_FOUND: Attempt to assign VLAN
[dec], whose primary VLAN does not exist or is shutdown, to 802.1x port [chars]
Explanation
An attempt was made to assign a private VLAN whose primary VLAN does not exist or
is shut down. [dec] is the VLAN, and [chars] is the port.
Recommended Action
Make sure the primary VLAN exists and is not shut down. Verify that the
private VLAN is associated with a primary VLAN.
Error Message
DOT1X_SWITCH-5-ERR_RADIUS_VLAN_NOT_FOUND: Attempt to assign
non-existent VLAN [chars] to dot1x port [chars]
Explanation
RADIUS attempted to assign a VLAN with a particular name or id to a supplicant on a
port, but the name or id could not be found on the switch. [dec] is the VLAN, and [chars] is the port.
Recommended Action
Make sure a VLAN with the specified name/id exists on the switch.
