3 – Event Messages Critical Events

(C)(8700.000F) (EPort) (Port: port_number) (Broadcast frame received & broadcast disabled, discarding broadcast frames.)

Meaning:

Broadcast is disabled and the switch has received a broadcast

 

frame. Enable broadcast to receive broadcast frames.

(C)(8700.0010) (EPort) (Port: port_number) (Inter-Switch Link (ISL) unstable. ISL init will be held back until ISL up time is 5 seconds)

Meaning:

The ISL is unstable indicating that the media module or the cable is

 

bad.

(C)(8700.0011) (Eport) (Port: port_number) (Connection failure, remote switch not compatible)

Meaning:

The remote switch is not compatible with the local switch. The

 

E_Port cannot exchange switch capabilities with the remote switch.

(C)(8700.0012) (Eport) (Port: port_number) (Connection failure, fabric limited to two switches)

Meaning:

The switch cannot be connected to the fabric due to a license

 

restriction.

(C) (8700.0013) (Connection failure, fabric limited to two switches)

Meaning:

The switch cannot be connected to the fabric due to license

 

restriction.

(C) (8F00.000C) Fabric Status status

Meaning:

The severity of the fabric status has changed. The description field

 

will show the reason for fabric status.

(C) (8F00.000D) Switch Status status

Meaning:

The severity of the switch status has changed. The description field

 

will show the reason for the switch status.

(C) (8F00:000E) Link Status status

Meaning:

The severity of the link status has changed. The description field

 

will show the reason for link status.
