Table 4.1 describes the Syslog messages that can appear when the backplane debugging feature is enabled.
Table 4.1: Syslog messages generated by the backplane debugging feature
Message Level Message

Alert Slot <num> BP <num> Drop counter is

4 - 2
Explanation
When the backplane debugging feature is
enabled, the first time the SMC DMA Drop
(DMADrop) counter is non-zero, the device
generates a Syslog message and an SNMP
trap.
When the first Syslog message indicating a
non-zero DMADrop count is generated, the
device starts a five-minute timer. After five
minutes, the device generates a Syslog
message if the DMADrop count is non-zero
at least once during this five-minute period.
Slot <num> is the slot number that contains
the module.
SMC <num> indicates the Strip Memory
Controller (SMC) ASIC.
Drop counter is <num> indicates the total
number of SMC DMA drops during the five­
minute period.
When the backplane debugging feature is
enabled, the first time the SMC Backplane
Drop (BPDrop) counter is non-zero, the
device generates a Syslog message and an
SNMP trap.
When the first Syslog message indicating a
non-zero BPDrop count is generated, the
device starts a five-minute timer. After five
minutes, the device generates a Syslog
message if the BPDrop count is non-zero at
least once during this five-minute period.
Slot <num> is the slot number that contains
the module.
BP <num> is the current value of the BPDrop
counter.
Drop counter is <num> indicates the total
number of SMC backplane drops during the
five-minute period.
