ELS Messages for Bridge Routing (BR)

BR.001

Level:
C-INFO
Short Syntax:
BR.001 source_mac -> dest_mac drp, port block/list, nt network
Long Syntax:
BR.001 Frame from source_mac to dest_mac dropped, received on blocked or listening port, network network
Description:
A MAC frame has been received by the hardware, but is being dropped because the port it was received on is in the "blocking" or "listening" state. Frames are only processed when the port is in the "learning" or "forwarding" state.
Cause:
Normal on port bringup.
Action:
Wait for port to transition to "learning" and "forwarding" states.

BR.002

Level:
P-TRACE
Short Syntax:
BR.002 source_mac -> dest_mac drp, dst same LAN, nt network
Long Syntax:
BR.002 Frame from source_mac to dest_mac dropped, destination on same LAN, network network
Description:
A MAC frame has been received whose destination address is known to be on the same side of the bridge as the packet came from. It is dropped by the filtering logic since it does not need to be bridged. Note that this event is not counted by ELS for performance reasons. A counter is kept in ASRT, it is the ``Dropped, dest addr filtering'' entry in the ASRT>LIST SOURCE-ROUTE COUNTERS and ASRT>LIST TRANSPARENT COUNTERS commands.
Cause:
Normal local traffic on network. about a filtering bridge. Sigh.

BR.003

Level:
UE-ERROR

Description:
A frame has been received over a WAN interface in the Ethernet bridge encapsulation, but the IPX protocol (in 802.3 encapsulation) is routed by this node.
Cause:
Configuration error at local or remote node with respect to bridging or routing particular protocols over the WAN link.
Action:
All hosts on a WAN link must agree on whether to bridge or route a given protocol. Reconfigure as appropriate.

Action:
Correct action of remote station.
Cause:
If dest_mac is a multicast address, a station on the LAN may be sending frames to the wrong multicast address, or perhaps just to one that this router does not have enabled. Depending on the protocol, this may or may not be an error.
