L2MAN
This section contains the L2MAN messages.
Error Message C4K_L2MAN-6-INVALIDSOURCEADDRESSPACKET:Packet received with invalid
source MAC address ( [mac-addr] ) on port [char] in vlan [dec]
Explanation
A packet was received with an all zero or a multicast source address. The packet is
treated as invalid and no learning is done. Excessive flow of such packets can waste CPU cycles.
This message is rate-limited and is displayed only for the first such packet received on any interface
or VLAN. Subsequent messages will display cumulative count of all such packets received in given
interval on all interfaces.
Recommended Action Check the switch configuration file to find the source of these packets on the
specified port and take corrective action to fix them at the source end. You can also enable port
security on that interface to shutdown the port if the incoming rate of packets with invalid source
mac address is too high by issuing the switchport port-security limit rate invalid-source-mac
<rate> command.
