ACL Messages
ACL Messages
This section contains the access control list (ACL) message.
Error Message C4K_ACL-4-OUTOFMEMORY:Out of Memory while allocating [char]
Explanation The software failed to allocate memory for the given object while processing ACLs. The
configuration might have exceeded its maximum limit. If so, the feature using this ACL will not
work.
Recommended Action If it is mandatory that the feature work normally, remove other unwanted
features that require ACLs and retry the operation. If the problem persists, contact your technical
support representative.
ARP Snooping Messages
This section contains the ARP snooping message.
Error Message C4K_ARPSNOOPINGMAN-4-OUTOFRESOURCES: Resources for constructing ACLs
are not available.
Explanation
Software resources are not available to setup hardware to redirect ARP packets to
software. Dynamic ARP inspection will not work if this log message appears.
Recommended Action Unconfigure other TCAM related features to reduce switch memory
requirements and reconfigure the ACL.
BUFFERMANAGER Messages
This section contains the memory buffer management (BUFFERMANAGER) message.
Error Message C4K_BUFFERMANAGER-3-OUTOFVBUFS: Have run out of vbufs (internal
buffers)
Explanation
The switch ran out of the internal memory buffers that are used for various tasks. This
error is unusual because the internal buffers are used for only a short time, released, and then
available for reuse. Typically, this condition is transitory.
Recommended Action If the message persists, reboot the switch.
