ME3400, error message

Hello.

What is the meaning of this error-message on Cisco ME3400 (IOS Metro-IP 12.2(40)SE)?

00:51:53: %PLATFORM_UCAST-6-PREFIX: One or more, more specific prefixes could not be programmed into TCAM and are being covered by a less specific prefixp ro

Thank's.

Found this through google.

A more specific prefix could not be programmed into Ternary Content Addressable Memory (TCAM) and is covered by a less specific prefix. This could be a temporary condition. The output of the "show platform ip unicast failed route" privileged EXEC command will list the failed prefixes.

Recommended action: No action is required.

show sdm prefer, my guess it shows desktop default vlan with no space for forwarding tables

I agree with Hans. Look at the memory partitioning, maybe you can allocate more memory for L3 functionality.
