3.3.1 RIPng

1

ripng_recv:

Bad metric(<metric>) for net <prefix> from <source address>

Error (remote device)

Routing information that has an invalid metric (0, or 17 or larger) was received.

[Explanation of message variables]

<metric>: Metric of the routing information

<prefix>: Routing information destination prefix

<source address>: Source gateway address

[Action]

Check the unicast routing program (RIPng) for the source gateway.

2

ripng_recv:

Bad prefixlen(<pefixlen>) for net <prefix> from <source address>

Error (remote device)

Routing information that has an invalid prefix length was received.

[Explanation of message variables]

<pefixlen>: Prefix length of the routing information

<prefix>: Routing information destination

<source address>: Source gateway address

[Action]

Check the unicast routing program (RIPng) for the source gateway.

3

ripng_recv:

Ignoring RIPng <ripng command> packet from <source address> - ignoring invalid version packet

Error (remote device)

A received RIPng packet was ignored because the version field was invalid.

[Explanation of message variables]

<ripng command>: Received message type

• Request, Response

<source address>: Source gateway address

[Action]

Check the unicast routing program (RIPng) for the source gateway.

4

ripng_recv:

Packet hoplimit is <hop limit> hop limit must be 255

Error (remote device)

A received RIPng packet was ignored because the hop limit was invalid.

[Explanation of message variables]

<hop limit>: Received hop limit

[Action]

Check the unicast routing program (RIPng) for the source gateway.

5

ripng_init:

Old copy of rtm is running

Error (local device)

Unicast routing program might already be running. The unicast routing program automatically restarts.

[Explanation of message variables]

None.

[Action]

Take appropriate action by following the rtm aborted log.

6

ripng_recv:

Ignoring RIPng <ripng command> from <source address> - source address is not link-local

Error (remote device)

A received RIPng packet was ignored because the source address was not a link-local address.

[Explanation of message variables]

<ripng command>: Received message type

<source address>: Source gateway

[Action]

Check the unicast routing program (RIPng) for the source gateway.

7

ripng_recv:

Ignoring RIPng <ripng command> from <source address> - source port is not valid

Error (remote device)

A received RIPng packet was ignored because the source port was invalid.

[Explanation of message variables]

<ripng command>: Received message type

<source address>: Source gateway

[Action]

Check the unicast routing program (RIPng) for the source gateway.

8

ripng_recv:

Ignoring RIPng <ripng command> packet from <source address> - invalid or not implemented command

Error (remote device)

A received packet was ignored because the command was invalid or not implemented.

[Explanation of message variables]

<ripng command>: Received message type

<source address>: Source gateway

[Action]

Check the unicast routing program (RIPng) for the source gateway.

9

ripng_recv:

Ignoring RIPng packet from <source address> - too short packet (<size>)

Error (remote device)

A received packet was ignored because the packet length was shorter than the RIPng header.

[Explanation of message variables]

<source address>: Source gateway

<size>: Packet length

[Action]

Check the unicast routing program (RIPng) for the source gateway.

10

ripng_recv:

Ignoring RIPng request packet from <source address> - the routing entries of improper length

Error (remote device)

A received request packet was ignored because routing information of invalid length was included.

[Explanation of message variables]

<source address>: Source gateway

[Action]

Check the unicast routing program (RIPng) for the source gateway.

11

ripng_recv:

Ignoring a routing entry of improper length - packet from <source address>

Error (remote device)

Routing information of invalid length was ignored.

[Explanation of message variables]

<source address>: Source gateway

[Action]

Check the unicast routing program (RIPng) for the source gateway.

12

RIPng:

The total number of RIPng targets is more than the maximum permitted

Error (local device)

The total number of RIPng targets (adjacent) exceeds the maximum number permitted.

[Explanation of message variables]

None.

[Action]

Check, and if necessary, revise the RIP settings so that the maximum number of adjacent routers does not exceed the capacity limit.
