System Message Overview
This guide describes the Cisco IE 3000 switch-specific system messages. During operation, the system
software sends these messages to the console (and, optionally, to a logging server on another system).
Not all system messages indicate problems with your system. Some messages are purely informational,
whereas others can help diagnose problems with communications lines, internal hardware, or the system
software. This guide also includes error messages that appear when the system fails.
For information about system messages that are not Cisco IE 3000 platform-specific, see the Cisco IOS
Software System Messages for Cisco IOS Release 12.2S.
This chapter contains these sections:
• How to Read System Messages, page 1-1
• Error Message Traceback Reports, page 1-4
How to Read System Messages
System log messages can contain up to 80 characters and a percent sign (%), which follows the optional
sequence number or time stamp information, if configured. Messages are displayed in this format:
seq no:timestamp: %facility-severity-MNEMONIC:description
By default, a switch sends the output from system messages to a logging process.
Each system message begins with a percent sign (%) and is structured as follows:
%FACILITY-SEVERITY-MNEMONIC: Message-text
• FACILITY is a code consisting of two or more uppercase letters that show the facility to which the
message refers. A facility can be a hardware device, a protocol, or a module of the system software.
Table 1-1 lists Cisco IE 3000 switch-specific facility codes. These messages are described in
Chapter 2, “Message and Recovery Procedures,” in alphabetical order by facility code, with the
most severe (lowest number) errors described first.
