Cisco IOS system error messages, see the Cisco IOS Software System Error Messages, Cisco IOS
Release 12.2 available from the Cisco.com home page by choosing Technical Support &
Documentation > Documentation > Cisco IOS Software.
This guide does not describe how to install your switch or how to configure software features on your
switch. It also does not provide detailed information about commands that have been created or changed
for use by the switch. For hardware installation information, see the hardware installation guide that
shipped with your switch. For software information, see the software configuration guide and the
command reference for this release.
For documentation updates, see the release notes for this release.
Conventions
This publication uses these conventions to convey instructions and information:
Command descriptions use these conventions:
• Commands and keywords are in boldface text.
• Arguments for which you supply values are in italic.
• Square brackets ([ ]) mean optional elements.
• Braces ({ }) group required choices, and vertical bars ( | ) separate the alternative elements.
• Braces and vertical bars within square brackets ([{ | }]) mean a required choice within an optional
element.
Interactive examples use these conventions:
• Terminal sessions and system displays are in screen font.
• Information you enter is in boldface screen font.
• Nonprinting characters, such as passwords or tabs, are in angle brackets (< >).

System Message Overview
This guide describes the Catalyst 3750-X, 3750-E, 3560-X, or 3560-E-specific system messages. The
system software sends these messages to the console (and, optionally, to a logging server on another
system). Not all system messages mean problems with your system. Some messages are informational,
and others can help diagnose problems with communications lines, internal hardware, or the system
software.
Note For information about system messages that are not Catalyst 3750-X, 3750-E, 3560-X, or 3560-E
platform-specific, see the Cisco IOS Software System Messages for Cisco IOS Release 12.2S.
• How to Read System Messages, page 1-1
• Error Message Traceback Reports, page 1-7
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 appear in this format:
seq no:timestamp: %facility-severity-MNEMONIC:description (hostname-n) (Catalyst 3750-X or
3750-E switches)
seq no:timestamp: %facility-severity-MNEMONIC:description (Catalyst 3560-X or 3560-E switches)
By default, a switch sends the output from system messages to a logging process. In a switch stack, stack
members append their hostnames to the output from system messages and redirect the output to the
logging process on the stack master.
Each system message begins with a percent sign (%) and is structured as follows:
%FACILITY-SEVERITY-MNEMONIC: Message-text
• FACILITY is 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.
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.

Chapter 1 System Message Overview
How to Read System Messages
• SEVERITY is a single-digit code from 0 to 7 that reflects the severity of the condition. The lower
the number, the more serious the situation.
• MNEMONIC is a code that uniquely identifies the message.
• Message-text is a text string describing the condition. This portion of the message sometimes
contains detailed information about the event, including terminal port numbers, network addresses,
or addresses that correspond to locations in the system memory address space. Because the
information in these variable fields changes from message to message, it is represented here by short
strings enclosed in square brackets ([ ]). A decimal number, for example, is represented as [dec].
All syslog messages generated by a Catalyst 3750-X or 3750-E switch other than the master switch
appear with (Switch-x) where Switch-x is the number of the stack member generating the message.
Syslog messages generated by the master switch appear with no hostname string.
This example shows a partial switch system message on a switch other than a Catalyst 3750-E:
00:00:46: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface Port-channel1, changed state to up
00:00:47: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface GigabitEthernet0/1, changed state to up
00:00:47: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface GigabitEthernet0/2, changed state to up
00:00:48: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface Vlan1, changed state to down
00:00:48: %LINEPROTO-5-UPDOWN: Line protocol on Interface GigabitEthernet0/1, changed
state to down 2 *Mar 1 18:46:11: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by vty2
(10.34.195.36)
18:47:02: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by vty2 (10.34.195.36)
*Mar 1 18:48:50.483 UTC: %SYS-5-CONFIG_I: Configured from console by vty2 (10.34.195.36)
This example shows a partial switch system message for a stack master and a stack member switch
(hostname Switch-2) in a Catalyst 3750-E switch stack:
Ta b l e 1-2 Message Severity Levels
Severity Level Description
0 – emergency System is unusable.
1 – alert Immediate action required.
2 – critical Critical condition.
3 – error Error condition.
4 – warning Warning condition.
5 – notification Normal but significant condition.
6 – informational Informational message only.
7 – debugging Message that appears during debugging only.
Ta b l e 1-3 Variable Fields
Representation Type of Information
[dec] Decimal integer
[char] Single character
