Error Messages
This section provides error messages that you may encounter in the UI.
Understanding Error Messages
Error messages reflect hardware or software problems that the switch encountered during
initialization, configuration, or operation.
In some instances, the messages that display on the
UI show the C program function name.
For example:
cmSetTTY(): Illegal port requested
where cmSetTTY represents the function, and ( ) indicates that parameters are passed. This
information is for internal debugging purposes.
In this section, the phrase
xxx in error messages represents a value that is specific to that
message. For example, in the message board type xxx, the specific board type displays in the
error message.
Correcting Errors
In most cases, you will not be able to correct error conditions that result because of internal
hardware or software malfunctions. You should contact Alcatel Technical Support when you
receive these messages. Refer to Reporting Problems on page 35-3.
You can correct error conditions that result because incorrect parameter values were entered
during configuration. The tables that follow list error messages to which you can respond.
