Chapter 1
System Message Overview
How to Read System Messages
MNEMONIC is a code that uniquely identifies the message.
Message-text is a text string describing the condition. This portion of the message sometimes
contains detailed information about the event, including terminal port numbers, network addresses,
or addresses that correspond to locations in the system memory address space. Because the
information in these variable fields changes from message to message, it is represented here by short
strings enclosed in square brackets ([ ]). A decimal number, for example, is represented as [dec].
Table 1-3
lists the variable fields in messages.
All syslog messages generated by a switch other than the master switch are displayed ending with
(
Switch-x
) where
Switch-x
is the number of the stack member generating the message. Syslog messages
generated by the master switch are displayed with no hostname string.
This example shows a partial switch system message for a stack master and a stack member switch
(hostname
Switch-2
):
