Cause: Dropped by handler to avoid looping, or bad broadcast. (Reason code 4.)

Action: Check configuration.

Cause: Host down. (Reason code 5.)

Action: See why handler thinks host is down.

SE.006 

Level: CI-ERROR

Short Syntax: SE.006 SE- se_id:Input q ovf 0x source_mac->0x dest_mac, dropped, net- network int int/ int_no

Long Syntax: SE.006 SE- se_id:Input queue overflow on frame from 0x source_mac to 0x dest_mac, packet dropped from network network interface int/ int_no

Description: The input queue for frames to be forwarded is too long, and this frame has been dropped to attempt to alleviate the congestion.

Cause: Bursty traffic may be causing congestion.

Action: Wait for burst to subside.

Cause: Too much traffic for forwarder to forward.

Action: Reconfigure network. Increase speed of router.

Cause: Inadequate buffer resources.

Action: Examine memory statistics in GWCON.

SE.007 

Level: CI-ERROR

Short Syntax: SE.007 SE- se_id:BPDU q ovf 0x source_mac->0x network, dropped, net- int int int_no/

Cause: Source node streaming BDPU frames.

Action: Correct behavior of source node.

Cause: Too much traffic for forwarder to forward.

Action: Reconfigure network. Increase speed of router.

Cause: Inadequate buffer resources.

Action: Examine memory statistics in GWCON.

SE.008 

Level: CE-ERROR

Short Syntax: SE.008 SE- se_id:0x source_mac->0x dest_mac too big ( reformatted_length > output_maximum) for port port net- network int int/ int_no, dropped

Long Syntax: SE.008 SE- se_id:Frame from 0x source_mac to 0x dest_mac is too big (reformatted length reformatted_length bytes > output maximum size output_maximum bytes) for port port network network interface int/ int_no, dropped

Description: The specified frame is too large to send on this outgoing port and network. The reformatted_length is the size of the frame including MAC headers after any mapping of data link headers.

Cause: Host on network with large maximum frame size sending to host on network with smaller maximum frame size.

Action: Reconfigure sending host to not send such large frames. If frame is of a routable protocol supporting fragmentation (such as IP or ISO) or maximum frame size determination (DNA or XNS), convert to using routing instead of bridging.

Cause: Host on network with large maximum frame size sending to host via an intervening network with smaller maximum frame size.

Action: Reconfigure network to use networks with large maximum frame size (such as FDDI or 802.5) as the backbone networks. Reconfigure port costs in Spanning Tree Protocol to favor spanning trees via networks with large maximum frame sizes.

SE.009 

Level: UE-ERROR

Short Syntax: SE.009 SE- se_id:0x source_mac->0x dest_mac dropped, net- network down

Long Syntax: SE.009 SE- se_id:Frame from 0x source_mac to 0x dest_mac dropped, input network network is down

Description: A frame has been received for bridging on a network that is down. It will be ignored.

Long Syntax: SE.011 SE- se_id:Frame from 0x source_mac to 0x dest_mac dropped, input port port network network interface int/ int_no not in forwarding state

Description: A MAC frame was received on a port that is still only in "learning" state. Frames are only bridged when the input port is in "forwarding" state. While the port is still in "learning" state, they are only processed to learn the source addresses for the filtering database. The frame will not be bridged.

Cause: Normal part of transition to "forwarding" state.

SE.012 

Level: C-INFO

Short Syntax: SE.012 SE- se_id:0x source_mac->0x dest_mac dropped, output port port net- network int int/ int_no not forwarding

Long Syntax: SE.012 SE- se_id:Frame from 0x source_mac to 0x dest_mac dropped, output port port network network interface int/ int_no not in forwarding state

Description: A MAC frame was being bridged, but the destination port was not in "forwarding" state. It will not be sent on that port.

Cause: Output port still in "learning" state.

Action: None needed, port will transition to "forwarding".

Cause: Static entry in filtering database points to port that is not in "forwarding" state.

Long Syntax: SE.013 SE- se_id:Frame from 0x source_mac to 0x dest_mac dropped, destination on same LAN, port port network network interface int/ int_no

Description: A MAC frame has been received whose destination address is known to be on the same side of the bridge as the packet came from. It is dropped by the filtering logic since it does not need to be bridged.

Cause: Normal local traffic on network.

SE.014 

Level: CI-ERROR

Short Syntax: SE.014 SE- se_id:0x source_mac->0x dest_mac drp, dst port port not enabled, net- network int int/ int_no

Description: A frame was not transmitted on a specific interface due to VLAN filter.

SE.017 

Level: CE-ERROR

Short Syntax: SE.017 SE- se_id:Unreg dst 0x source_mac->0x dest_mac Etype Ethernet_type, drp, net- network

Long Syntax: SE.017 SE- se_id:Frame from 0x source_mac to unregistered destination MAC address 0x dest_mac, Ethernet type Ethernet_type, dropped, network network

Description: A frame has been received for the Ethernet type which corresponds with an enabled protocol, but the destination MAC address is not registered in the bridge. The frame will be dropped.

Cause: If dest_mac is a unicast address, a station on the LAN is sending frames for this protocol to the wrong next hop MAC address.

Action: Correct action of remote station.

Cause: If dest_mac is a multicast address, a station on the LAN may be sending frames to the wrong multicast address, or perhaps just to one that this router does not have enabled. Depending on the protocol, this may or may not be an error.
