Troubleshooting

Using the Event Log for Troubleshooting Switch Problems

System	Description	Documented in ProCurve Hardware/
Module		Software guide
kms	Key Management System: Configures and maintains security	Access Security Guide
	information (keys) for all routing protocols, including a timing
	mechanism for activating and deactivating an individual
	protocol.
lacp	LACP trunks: The switch can either automatically establish an	Management and Configuration Guide
	802.3ad-compliant trunk group or provide a manually
	configured, static LACP trunk.
ldbal	Load balancing in LACP port trunks or 802.1s Multiple	Management and Configuration Guide
	Spanning Tree protocol (MSTP) that uses VLANs in a network	Advanced Traffic Management Guide
	to improve network resource utilization and maintain a loop-
	free environment.
	Load-balancing messages also include switch meshing
	events. The Switch Meshing feature provides redundant links,
	improved bandwidth use, and support for different port types
	and speeds.
lldp	Link-Layer Discovery Protocol: Supports transmitting LLDP	Management and Configuration Guide
	packets to neighbor devices and reading LLDP packets
	received from neighbor devices, enabling a switch to
	advertise itself to adjacent devices and to learn about
	adjacent LLDP devices.
loop_protect	Loop protection: Detects the formation of loops when an	Advanced Traffic Management Guide
	unmanaged device on the network drops spanning tree
	packets, and provides protection by transmitting loop protocol
	packets out ports on which loop protection has been enabled.
macauth	Web and MAC authentication: Port-based security employed	Access Security Guide
	on the network edge to protect private networks and the
	switch itself from unauthorized access using one of the
	following interfaces:
	• Web page login to authenticate users for access to the
	network
	• RADIUS server that uses a device’s MAC address for
	authentication
maclock	MAC lockdown and MAC lockout	Access Security Guide
	• MAC lockdown prevents station movement and MAC
	address “hijacking” by requiring a MAC address to be used
	only an assigned port on the switch. MAC Lockdown also
	restricts the client device to a specific VLAN.
	• MAC lockout blocks a specific MAC address so that the
	switch drops all traffic to or from the specified address.
mgr	ProCurve Manager (PCM) and ProCurve Manager Plus	Management and Configuration Guide
	(PCM+): Windows-based network management solutions for
	managing and monitoring performance of ProCurve devices.
	PCM messages also include events for configuration
	operations.
