Error Messages

Error Message Formats

 

 

There are two error message formats depending on whether you are

 

 

gathering information from the front panel or via Telnet. The front

 

 

panel shows an abbreviated message and via Telnet displays the

 

 

entire error message.

 

 

In all cases, the last error encountered is the first error displayed. Up

 

 

to 32 messages are held in a buffer. If the 32 message limit is

 

 

exceeded, the messages are overwritten in a first in, first out

 

 

sequence.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Error messages are stored in volatile RAM and are lost whenever power is

 

 

removed from the switch. Access the error message log to view error

 

 

messages before removing power.

DIAG-REGERR_UNRST-1

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The first line includes the error’s date and time. The beginning of

 

 

each second line on the front panel display starts with the module

 

 

name (Diag), error name (REGERR_UNRST), and the severity level

 

(1).

 

 

 

 

 

The possible values are:

 

 

1-critical

 

 

2-error

 

 

3-warning

 

 

4-informational

 

 

5-debug

If the same error occurs within the same module (for example, DIAG-REGERR_UNRST) but on different ports, the number of occurrences for that message is incremented in brackets (up to 999), and the error number is not incremented (that is, this error, though it may occur 999 times, occupies one message in the 32-message buffer.
