Description

1

rs_input:

Cannot locate interface for RS from <address1> to <address2>

Error (local device)

The router solicitation was ignored because an interface corresponding to the received router solicitation is not found.

[Explanation of message variables]

<address1>: Router solicitation sender address

<address2>: Router solicitation destination address

[Action]

If this error frequently occurs, check the status of the interface.

2

rs_input:

ND option check failed for an RS from <address> on <interface name>

Error (remote device)

The router solicitation was ignored because the ND option check for the router solicitation from the relevant address failed.

[Explanation of message variables]

<address>: Router solicitation sender address

<interface name>: Name of interface for receiving router solicitation

[Action]

Check the router solicitation setting in the router solicitation sender terminal.

3

rs_input:

RS from unspecified src on <interface name> has a link-layer address option

Error (remote device)

The router solicitation was ignored because the link-layer address option has been set for router solicitation from unspecified address (::).

[Explanation of message variables]

<interface name>: Name of interface for receiving router solicitation

[Action]

Check the router solicitation setting in the router solicitation sender terminal.

4

rs_input:

RS received on non advertising interface(<interface name>)

Warning (local device)

The router solicitation was ignored because the router solicitation was received by the interface that does not advertise routers.

[Explanation of message variables]

<interface name>: Name of interface for receiving router solicitation

[Action]

If it is necessary to respond to the router solicitation, enable router advertisement in the interface.

5

rs_input:

RS with invalid hop limit(<hop limit>) received from <address> on <interface name>

Error

The router solicitation was ignored because the hop limit of the received router solicitation packet is not the correct value (255).

[Explanation of message variables]

<hop limit>: Hop limit value of the received router solicitation message

<address>: Router solicitation sender address

<interface name>: Name of interface for receiving router solicitation

[Action]

Check the settings of the terminal that sends a router request.

6

rs_input:

RS with invalid ICMP6 code(<code>) received from <address> on <interface name>

Error

The router solicitation was ignored because the ICMP6 code of the received router solicitation packet is not the correct value (0).

[Explanation of message variables]

<code>: ICMP6 code value of the received router solicitation message

<address>: Router solicitation sender address

<interface name>: Name of interface for receiving router solicitation

[Action]

Check the settings of the terminal that sends a router request.

7

rs_input:

RS from <address> on <interface name> does not have enough length (len = <length>)

Error

The router solicitation was ignored because the received router solicitation packet is short.

[Explanation of message variables]

<address>: Router solicitation sender address

<interface name>: Name of interface for receiving router solicitation

<length>: Received router solicitation packet length

[Action]

Check the settings of the terminal that sends a router request.

8

nd6_options:

bad ND option length(0) (type = <type>)

Error (remote device)

[Explanation of message variables]

<type>: Received ND option type number

[Action]

Take action to correct the rs_input and ra_input errors that were output together.

9

ra_output:

Cannot send RA for I/F <interface name> (lack of active linklocal addr)

Error (local device)

Router advertisements cannot be sent because there is no valid link-local address in the relevant interface.

[Explanation of message variables]

<interface name>: Name of interface for sending router advertisements

[Action]

If this error frequently occurs, check the status of the interface.

10

ra_output:

Cannot send RA for I/F <interface name>

Error (local device)

Router advertisements cannot be sent from the relevant interface.

[Explanation of message variables]

<interface name>: Name of interface for sending router advertisements

[Action]

If this error frequently occurs, check the status of the interface.

11

ra_output:

not send RA for I/F <interface name> (linkmtu <value own> is greater than the physical interface MTU <phymtu>)

Warning (local device)

Router advertisements are not output because the specified value exceeds the MTU length of the relevant interface.

[Explanation of message variables]

<interface name>: Name of interface for sending router advertisements

<value own>: MTU option value of the local system

<phymtu>: Physical MTU length of the interface

[Action]

Check the settings of the router that sends router advertisements.
