Error Message FM-3-LABELERROR: Incorrect label to [chars] vlan label attribute copy
callback srclabel [dec], dstlabel [dec].
Note This message applies only to Catalyst 3550 switches.
Explanation The feature manager attribute copy callback was called with an incorrect source or
destination label. [chars] is the direction (input or output), the first [dec] is the source label value,
and the second [dec] is the destination label value.
Recommended Action Copy the message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log.
Research and attempt to resolve the error by using the Output Interpreter. Enter the show
running-config user EXEC command to gather data that might help identify the nature of the error.
Use the Bug Toolkit to look for similar reported problems. If you still require assistance, open a case
with the TAC, or contact your Cisco technical support representative, and provide the representative
with the gathered information. For more information about these online tools and about contacting
Cisco, see the
“Error Message Traceback Reports” section on page 2-7.
Error Message FM-3-MAXRECURSION: Too many ([dec]) levels of recursion while merging
[chars] (code [dec]).
Note This message applies only to Catalyst 3550 switches.
Explanation The configuration is too complicated for the platform-specific ACL merge code to
support. The most likely cause is too many separate access lists in a single VLAN map or policy
map. The first [dec] is the number of levels of recursion. [chars] describes which stage of the merge
encountered the problem; the stage can be one of these: VLAN map, Global Input, Global Output,
or QoS Map. The second [dec] is an internal code number of the merge stage that encountered the
problem.
Recommended Action Reduce the number IP or MAC access lists (counted separately) in any one
VLAN or policy map to fewer than the number of levels reported by this log message.
Error Message FM-3-MERGEFAIL: [chars] ACL merge error [dec] ([chars]) on [chars]
label [dec].
Note This message applies only to Catalyst 3550 switches.
Explanation The feature manager was unable to merge the configured features into a form suitable
for loading into the hardware. Packets potentially affected by this feature are sent to the CPU for
processing. The CPU processing needed to uphold the overflowed ACL severely degrades
performance. The first [chars] is the ACL-type error (ip or mac), the first [dec] is the error code, the
second [chars] is the message string for the preceding error code, the second [dec] is the label
number, and the third [chars] is either input or output.
Recommended Action Reorganize the ACLs so that all entries fit into hardware. Use less complicated
and fewer ACLs.
