will continue.

a VLAN went down right after the packet was sent.

type, and the VLAN ID on which the packet was
sent.
Unable to alloc

table (
counter
)
The router was not able to create some tables PIM-
DM uses. Indicates that the router is low on memory
resources. Remedies include one or more of the
following:
• Reduce the number of configured VLANs by
moving some VLANs to another router.
• Free up system resources by disabling another
feature, such as one of the spanning-tree
protocols or either the RIP or the OSPF routing
protocol. (Unless you are using static routes, you
will need to retain a minimum of one unicast
routing protocol.) Another option that may help is
to reduce the number of configured QoS filters.
• Move some hosts that create multicast demand
to another router.
