Level of criticity associated to a syslog

Hi,

I would like to know the severity level associated to the message "queue full" sent by the switch WS-C3750V2-48TS-S.
Is it an informational message ?

Thanks in advance,

Alex

The only message with that string that I could find in the guide is the following:

Error Message DHCP_SNOOPING-4-QUEUE_FULL: Fail to enqueue DHCP packet into processing queue: [chars], the queue is most likely full and the packet will be dropped.

Explanation The CPU is receiving DHCP at a higher rate than the DHCP snooping can process. These DHCP packets are dropped to prevent a denial of service attack. [chars] is the warning.

Recommended Action No action is required.

As the number "4" in the message ID indicates, it is a severity level 4 or warning message.
