DHCP SNOOPING Messages
Error Message C4K_COMMONSTUBMAN-4-FAILEDTOSENDLOOPBACKTRIES: [char] port [dec]
failed to send packet in [dec] tries
Explanation
An ASIC in slot [char] was unable to send a loopback packet on port [dec] and this is
the [dec]th time it tried to send and failed. This suggests that the switch is out of memory. The
software will attempt to send a loopback packet only three times.
Recommended Action Contact your technical support representative.
Error Message C4K_COMMONSTUBMAN-4-UNEXPECTEDLOOPBACK: [char] sent out a loopback
packet on port [dec], but it came back on port [dec]
Explanation
The ASIC diagnostics for slot [char] sent a loopback packet out port [dec] and it came
back on another port [dec]. This is unexpected because the loopback is done within the hardware.
Recommended Action Contact your technical support representative.

Error Message C4K_COMMONSTUBMAN-7-LOSTPACKET: [char] port [dec] lost a packet
