System Message Overview
This guide describes the Cisco ME 3800X and 3600X Ethernet Access switches system messages.
During operation, the system software sends these messages to the console (and, optionally, to a logging
server on another system). Not all system messages mean problems with your system. Some messages
are informational, and others can help diagnose problems with communications lines, internal hardware,
or the system software.
Note For information about system messages that are not Cisco ME switch platform-specific, see the Cisco
IOS Software System Messages for Cisco IOS Release 12.2S.

How to Read System Messages
System log messages can contain up to 80 characters and a percent sign (%), which follows the optional
sequence number or time-stamp information, if configured. Messages appear in this format:
seq no:timestamp: %facility-severity-MNEMONIC:description
By default, a switch sends the output from system messages to a logging process.
Each system message begins with a percent
sign (%) and is struct
ured as follows:
%FACILITY-SEVERITY-MNEMONIC: Message-text
• FACILITY is two or more uppercase letters that show the facility to which the message refers. A
facility can be a hardware device, a protocol, or a module of the system software. Table 1-1 lists the
facility codes.
These messages are described in Chapter 2, “Messages and Recovery Procedures,” in alphabetic
al
o
rder by facility code with the most severe (lo
west number) errors described first.
