SPANTREE_VLAN_SW Messages
SPANTREE_VLAN_SW Messages
This section contains the spanning tree fast convergence (SPANTREE_VLAN_SW) message.
Error Message SPANTREE_VLAN_SW-2-MAX_INSTANCE:Platform limit of [dec] STP instances
exceeded. No instance created for [char] (port [char]).
Explanation
The number of currently active VLAN spanning tree instances reached a
platform-specific limit. No additional VLAN instances will be created until the number of instances
drops below that limit.
Recommended Action Reduce the number of currently active spanning tree instances by either
disabling some of the instances or deleting the VLANs that are associated with them. You need to
manually enable those spanning trees that cannot be created due to limited instances.
Supervisor Messages
This section contains the supervisor engine specific (C4K_SUPERVISOR) messages.
Error Message C4K_SUPERVISOR-0-SUPNOTSUPPORTEDINCHASSIS: The WS-X4013+TS supervisor
is not supported in chassis type [char]
Explanation
The WS-X4013+TS is supported only in the Catalyst 4503 chassis. Either the
WS-X4013+TS supervisor engine is in a chassis with more than 3 slots, which is a misconfiguration
and not supported, or the chassis' serial EEPROM is programmed incorrectly and contains the wrong
chassis type.
Recommended Action If this chassis has more than 3 slots, the WS-X4013+TS is not supported in it.
If the chassis has 3 slots, and you see this message, collect the output of the show idprom chassis
command and call Cisco TAC. This chassis needs to be returned to Cisco.
Error Message C4K_SUPERVISOR-3-SUPOCTALPHYMDIOREADERR:Failed to perform read
operation on Octal Serdes at address [dec] for the register at address [dec]
Explanation
Unable to read the Octal Serdes on the supervisor engine.
Recommended Action If this continues to happen, please contact your technical support
representative to replace the supervisor engine.
Error Message C4K_SUPERVISOR-3-POWERSUPPLYSTATUSREADFAILED: Failed to read power
supply [dec]'s status register
Explanation Reading the power supply status register failed.
Recommended Action Try reinserting the power supply. If the problem persists, hot swap it with a new
power supply.
