Action:
If the message persists, contact customer service.

SL.032

Level:
UI-ERROR
Short Syntax:
SL.032 Pkt buf alloc # buffer_number failed, nt network
Long Syntax:
SL.032 Packet buffer allocation number buffer_number failed, network network
Description:
The allocation of a packet buffer for a DNX 300 serial line failed. This may be due to a shortage of either buffer memory or heap memory. (See the output of ELS messages GW.061, GW.063, and GW.064.) The interface will still try and come up, but with a reduced number of receive packet buffers.
Cause:
Shortage of buffer memory. (Particularly if preceded by ELS message GW.064.)
Action:
Upgrade size of buffer memory.
Action:
Choose smaller buffer size on the interface.
Cause:
Shortage of heap memory. (Particularly if preceded by ELS message GW.063.)
Action:
Reduce routing table sizes. Increase size of data memory.
Cause:
Buffer allocation routine did not accurately predict how many buffers could be allocated.
Action:
On some configurations, some portions of the buffer memory are unuseable. The pre-allocator does not take this into account, so a few buffer allocations may fail.

SL.033

Level:
UI-ERROR
Short Syntax:
SL.033 Pkt buff # buffer_number crossed page, dropped, nt network
Long Syntax:
SL.033 Packet buffer number buffer_number crossed 64 Kbyte page boundary, dropped, nt network
Description:
A packet buffer was allocated for the DNX 300 serial line, but that buffer crossed a 64 Kbyte memory boundary in the buffer memory. Since all of the receive buffers for a DNX 300 serial line must be in the same 64 Kbyte buffer memory packet, that buffer will be ignored, and no further buffers will be allocated for the device. The interface will still try and come up, but with a reduced number of receive packet buffers.
Cause:
System buffer size overhead so great that 15 buffers with 4095 bytes of data cannot be allocated in one 64 Kbyte page in buffer memory. The DNX 300 serial line normally requests 15 receive buffers. This is the maximum number that can be allocated from one 64 Kbyte page with the maximum size. If the header, wrap, or trail size, if particularly large, the 15 packet buffers may not fit into one 64 Kbyte page. (See the ``Buffer sizes Total'' column in the +BUFFERS command.)
Action:
If buffer_number is close to 15, there should not be a serious performance degradation, and no action is required.
Action:
If more buffers are needed, there may be some reconfiguration of the router which can provide for more buffers. If tunneling is not needed, turn it off to reduce the ``Wrap'' size. If the buffer size on the serial line can be reduced, that should increase the number of buffers.
Action:
If there is no configuration that allows an adequate number of receive buffers, upgrade to a DNX 350 serial line, which does not have this 64 Kbyte restriction.

SL.034

Level:
UE-ERROR
Short Syntax:
SL.034 no cable installed, nt network
Long Syntax:
SL.034 No cable installed or installed cable broken or non-compatible, network network
Description:
The system does not detect an adapter cable in the network interface port. Self-test will fail.
Cause:
No cable installed.
Action:
Connect the correct adapter cable.
Cause:
Cable broken so that it does not indicate cable type correctly (very unlikely).
Action:
Replace cable.

SL.035

Level:
UI-ERROR
Short Syntax:
SL.035 Prot protocol_name ( protocol_number ) not supported by pseudo-eth bridging, nt network
Long Syntax:
SL.035 Protocol protocol_name ( protocol_number ) can not be bridged over Proteon Serial Line using the pseudo-ethernet bridging method. Network network
Description:
A protocol that cannot be bridged by Proteon Serial Line's PSEUDO- ETHERNET bridging method has been configured over an interface using PSL PSEUDO-ETH.
Cause:
User misconfiguration error. User configured a protocol that cannot be bridged by the Proteon Serial Line PSEUDO-ETHERNET method (such as Banyan Vines) over an interface that is configured to use Proteon Serial Line with PSEUDO-ETHERNET bridging.
Action:
Either disable the protocol over the interface, or disable PSEUDO-ETHERNET bridging on the interface.
