Description
The usage of counter
allocation for rate limiting
implementation has been
exceeded.
The error messages are
due to the 8800/8600
reaching the max limit of
Pep streams. The
8800/8600 is unable to add
a Multicast record to the R-
module hardware records
because of insufficient pep
streams.
Power supply failure.
Remedial Action
Ensure the rate limiting applied on
those ports does not exceed the
available counter allocation (x [ 256)
The number of available ports and
vlans where rate-limiting can be applied
is limited by 256 available counter
locations on the switch. When this
number is exceeded, an error message
"rarSetIeeeVlanRL:Counter Allocation
Failed" appears and the rate-limiting
configured on the ports fails. To
calculate the number of counter
allocations being utilized, use the
following formula:
For port-based vlans: Count 1 for each
port with rate-limiting enabled.
Example: 4 ports in vlan x = 4 *
For protocol-based and ip-subnet-
based vlans: Count 2 for each port with
rate-limiting enabled. Example: 6 ports
in vlan y = 12 The total of this calculation
for all vlans on the switch must not
exceed 256.
Focus on multicast traffic, especially
the number of streams and receivers.
Use IGMP access lists to control the
number of Multicast streams. You do
not see this message with Release 5.0
or greater.
Check power supply. Remove and
reseat the power supply.
