What does SP in LINK-SP-3-UPDOWN exactly mean

[juergen.fischer]

Dear all,

I know what the LINK-3-UPDOWN message means. But I don't know what exactly does the additional SP means in

LINK-SP-3-UPDOWN

Is it just SPanning-Tree ?

Many thanks

Juergen

any syslog messages that have SP in them are generated by Switch Processor . Are you seeing this message on a 6k ?

Thanks

Yes

IOS (tm) c6sup2_rp Software (c6sup2_rp-DSV-M), Version 12.1(26)E, RELEASE SOFTWARE (fc1)

cisco WS-C6509 (R7000) processor (revision 3.0) with 112640K/18432K bytes of memory.

So it is not a hint to a trunk going UPDOWN ?

Only an interface UPDOWN message for a special device, i.e. a C6k ?

Is that correct ?

Many thanks

Juergen

This is just an indication that the link went UP/DOWN and that the message was generated by the Switch processor ( as apposed to the route processor which will have RP in the syslog ).

thanks

Salman.
