Error Message PM-4-INACTIVE: putting [chars] in inactive state because [chars].
Explanation The port manager has been blocked from creating a virtual port for the switch port and
VLAN, causing the port to be in an inactive state. The reason for this condition is specified in the
error message. The first [chars] is the interface name, and the second [chars] is the reason.
Recommended Action Copy the message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log.
Research and attempt to resolve the error by using the Output Interpreter. Enter the show
tech-support user EXEC command to gather data that might help identify the nature of the error.
Use the Bug Toolkit to look for similar reported problems. If you still require assistance, contact
IBM technical support and provide the representative with the gathered information. For more

Error Message PM-4-INT_FAILUP: [chars] failed to come up. No internal VLAN available.
Explanation The port manager failed to allocate an internal VLAN, and therefore the interface
cannot be enabled. [chars] is the interface name.
Recommended Action Remove the extended-range VLAN by using the no vlan vlan-id global
configuration command to free up resources.
Error Message PM-4-INT_VLAN_NOTAVAIL: Failed to allocate internal VLAN in Port
Manager.
Explanation The port manager failed to find any available internal VLAN.
Recommended Action Delete some extended-range VLANs created by users, or remove some features
(such as routed ports) that require internal VLAN allocation. To delete extended-range VLANs, use
the no vlan vlan-id global configuration command. To delete a routed port, use the no switchport
interface configuration command.
Error Message PM-4-INVALID_HOST_ACCESS_ENTRY: Invalid Host access entry type ([dec])

configured or a dynamic type. [dec] is the entry type that is received.
