SPANNING TREE MESSAGES

The Spanning Tree protocol is only supported by the Ethernet-2 interface card.

Spanning Tree protocol messages are prefaced with [STP]. During normal operation, when Spanning Tree protocol is enabled, the system may report informational messages such as:

[STP] A new Root Bridge has been detected

[STP] LAN Port <port #> is now a Designated Port

WARNING MESSAGES

System warning messages signal events that you should investigate. These messages may be normal during certain network conditions, or they may indicate a problem. The system should continue to operate after posting a warning message. If the system fails to operate normally, then report it using the problem report form included in Getting Assistance.

ERROR MESSAGES

When the system detects errors, it reports error messages. If the faulty component cannot be identified, and an error condition persists, then report the error by using the problem report form included in Getting Assistance.
