W 10/01/06 09:00:33 PIM : No IP address configured on VID 100 (1)
Figure C-10. Example of the First Instance of an Event Message and Counter
This message indicates the original instance
of the event (since the last switch reboot).

W 10/01/06 09:28:42 PIM : No IP address configured on VID 100 (8)
The duplicate of the original message is the first
instance of the event since the previous log
throttle period expired, and indicates that a new
log throttle period has begun for this event..
Figure C-11. Example of Duplicate Messages Over Multiple Log Throttling Periods
Example of Log Message Throttling. For example, suppose that you con-
figure VLAN 100 on the switch to support PIM operation, but do not configure
an IP address. If PIM attempted to use VLAN 100, the switch would generate
the first instance of the following Event Log message and counter.
If PIM operation caused the same event to occur six more times during the
initial log throttle period, there would be no further entries in the Event Log.
However, if the event occurred again after the log throttle period expired, the
switch would repeat the message (with an updated counter) and start a new
log throttle period.
Note that if the same type of event occurs under different circumstances, the
switch handles these as unrelated events for the purpose of Event Log mes-
sages. For example, if PIM operation simultaneously detected that VLANs 100
and 205 were configured without IP addresses, you would see log messages
similar to the following:
Using the Event Log To Identify Problem Sources
The counter indicates that this is the first instance
of this event since the switch last rebooted.
Original Counter from First Log Throttle Period
The counter now indicates that this is the
eighth instance of this event since the
switch last rebooted.
