SPANTREE-2-ROOTGUARD_BLOCK: Root guard blocking port [chars] on [chars].

Explanation This message means that on the listed interface a BPDU was received that advertises a superior spanning-tree root bridge (lower bridge ID, lower path cost, and so forth) than that in use. The interface is put into blocking state and marked as root-guard inconsistent to prevent a suboptimal spanning-tree topology from forming. The first [chars] is the name of this port, and the second [chars] is the spanning-tree instance on which this port was blocked.

Response Enter the show spanning-tree inconsistentports privileged EXEC command to review the list of interfaces with root-guard inconsistencies. Determine why devices connected to the listed ports are sending BPDUs with a superior root bridge, and take action to prevent more occurrences. When the inaccurate BPDUs have been stopped, the interfaces automatically recover and resume normal operation. Make sure that it is appropriate to have root guard enabled on the interface.

SPANTREE-2-ROOTGUARD_CONFIG_CHANGE: Root guard [chars] on port [chars] on [chars].

Explanation This message means that the spanning-tree root guard configuration for the listed interface has changed. If enabled, any BPDU received on this interface that advertises a superior spanning-tree root bridge (lower bridge ID, lower path cost, and so forth) to that already in use causes the interface to be put into the blocking state and marked as root-guard inconsistent. The first [chars] is the root-guard state (enable or disable), the second [chars] is the interface, and the third [chars] is the spanning-tree instance.

Response Verify that this is the desired configuration for the listed interface. Correct it if it is not the desired configuration; otherwise, no action is required.

SPANTREE-2-ROOTGUARD_UNBLOCK: Root guard unblocking port [chars] on [chars].

Explanation This message means that the listed interface is no longer receiving BPDUs advertising a superior root bridge (lower bridge ID, lower path cost, and so forth). The root-guard inconsistency is cleared for the interface, and the blocking state is removed from the interface. The first [chars] is the name of this port, and the second [chars] is the spanning-tree instance on which this port was blocked.

Response No action is required.

SPANTREE-2-UNBLOCK-CONSIST-PORT: Unblocking [chars] on [chars]. Port consistency restored.

Explanation This message means that the port VLAN ID or port type inconsistencies have been resolved and that spanning tree will unblock the listed interface of the listed spanning-tree instance as appropriate. The first [chars] is the interface, and the second [chars] is the spanning-tree instance.

Response No action is required.

SPANTREE-3-BAD_PORTNUM_SIZE: Rejected an attempt to set the port number field size to [dec] bits (valid range is [dec] to [dec] bits).

Explanation This message means that an error occurred in the platform-specific code that caused it to request more or less bits than are possible. The spanning-tree port identifier is a 16-bit field. That is divided evenly between the port priority and port number, with each subfield being 8 bits. This allows the port number field to represent port numbers between 1 and 255. However, on systems with more than 255 ports, the size of port number portion of the port ID must be increased to support the number of ports.

Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module specifications

Cisco Systems is a leader in networking technology, and their Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module exemplifies the innovations the company brings to the realm of networking. Designed for flexibility, performance, and scalability, the switch module is tailored for enterprise environments that require robust and reliable network infrastructure.

One of the key features of the Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module is its support for high-speed data transfer. With Gigabit Ethernet capabilities, it enables fast and efficient communication between devices, reducing latency and increasing productivity. This high-speed connectivity supports various applications, including video streaming, VoIP, and large file transfers.

Another major characteristic of the module is its versatility. The switch module is compatible with a range of Cisco platforms, allowing users to easily integrate it into their existing network setups. This compatibility means organizations can expand their network capabilities without needing to overhaul their entire infrastructure.

Security is another prominent feature of the Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module. It incorporates advanced security protocols, ensuring that sensitive data remains protected as it traverses the network. Features like port security, access control lists (ACLs), and network segmentation help mitigate potential risks and safeguard against unauthorized access.

The module also integrates advanced traffic management technologies. Quality of Service (QoS) features allow administrators to prioritize critical traffic, ensuring that time-sensitive applications receive the necessary bandwidth. Moreover, Layer 2 and Layer 3 capabilities enable efficient routing and switching of data, further enhancing network performance.

Energy efficiency is a hallmark of the Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module as well. Cisco has designed the module with environmentally friendly technologies that reduce power consumption, contributing to lower operational costs and a reduced carbon footprint.

In addition, the switch module supports automation and programmability features such as Cisco’s DNA Center, which provides a centralized management platform for monitoring and controlling network activity. This capability allows for easier deployment of policies, enhancing operational efficiency.

Overall, the Cisco Systems Intelligent Gigabit Ethernet Switch Module is a powerful networking solution, combining high-speed performance, advanced security, versatile integration, and efficient management to meet the growing demands of modern enterprise networks. As organizations continue to evolve, this switch module stands out as a reliable choice for companies seeking to optimize their network infrastructure for future challenges.
