Error Message DHCP_SNOOPING-4-DHCP_SNOOPING_PVLAN_WARNING: DHCP Snooping
configuration may not take effect on secondary vlan [dec]. [char]
Explanation
DHCP snooping configuration on the primary VLAN automatically propagates to all
secondary VLANs if private VLANs are enabled.
Recommended Action This is an informational message only. No action is required.
Error Message DHCP_SNOOPING-4-IP_SOURCE_BINDING_PVLAN_WARNING: IP source filter may
not take effect on secondary vlan [dec] where IP source binding is configured.
[char]
Explanation
The IP source filter on the primary VLAN automatically propagates to all secondary
VLANs if private VLANs are enabled.
Recommended Action Reconfigure the IP source binding to a known functioning VLAN.
Error Message DHCP_SNOOPING-4-IP_SOURCE_BINDING_NON_EXISTING_VLAN_WARNING: IP
source binding is configured on non existing vlan [dec].
Explanation IP source binding was configured on a VLAN that has not yet been configured.
Recommended Action This is an informational message only. No action is required. It may persist
unless you define the VLAN in question and then reapply the IP source binding. If you see this
message regarding a VLAN that is correctly configured, contact your technical support
representative.
Error Message DHCP_SNOOPING-4-NTP_NOT_RUNNING: NTP is not running; reloaded binding
lease expiration times are incorrect.
Explanation
If the DHCP snooping bindings are loaded by the DHCP snooping database agent and
NTP is not running, then the calculated lease duration for the bindings will be incorrect.
Recommended Action Configure NTP on the switch to provide an accurate time and date for the
system clock. Then disable and re-enable DHCP snooping to clear the bindings database.
Error Message DHCP_SNOOPING-4-QUEUE_FULL: Fail to enqueue DHCP packet into
processing queue: [char]
Explanation
DHCP packets are coming into the CPU at a much higher rate than the DHCP snooping
process can handle them. These unhandled DHCP packets will be dropped to prevent a denial of
service attack.
Recommended Action This is an informational message only. No action is required.
