EC Messages
Error Message C4K_EBM-4-ZEROETHERADDR:Filtering Ethernet MAC address of value zero
from agent host table interface (port: [char])
Explanation
The switch received a packet with the MAC address 00:00:00:00:00:00. This MAC
address is not valid and was probably generated by some non-IEEE 802.1D-compliant hardware or
software in the network.
The host sort algorithm does not sort hosts with MAC addresses that have all zeros
(00:00:00:00:00:00), because a MAC address that has all zeros can not be listed in the learned host
table. A request to show learned hosts, either by the show cam dynamic command or by an SNMP
request, does not list a MAC address that has all zeros.
Recommended Action Track the source of the invalid MAC address because it might cause other
problems.
EC Messages
This section contains the EtherChannel (EC) messages.
EC-4
Error Message EC-4-NOMEMORINCOMPAT:Allocation of the [char] failed.
Explanation
The system could not obtain the memory it needed or the operation was not allowed.
Recommended Action If this condition occurs in spite of enough memory in the system, unconfigure
and reconfigure the Ether Channels to see if memory is freed to allocate EtherChannel. If the
problem persists, contact your technical support representative.
Error Message EC-4-SSOINCOMPAT:Routed port channels cannot be created while the
switch is configured in the SSO redundancy mode
Explanation
Routed port channels are not supported while the switch is configured in the SSO
redundancy mode.
Recommended Action Switch to RPR mode or use an SVI in a VLAN where a layer 2 port channel is
the only member.
Error Message EC-4-NOMEM:Not enough memory available for [char]
Explanation
The Port Aggregation Protocol or EtherChannel cannot obtain the memory it needs.
Recommended Action This is an informational message only. No action is required.
