Example of Log Throttling

For example, suppose that you configure 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.
W 10/01/06 09:00:33 PIM:No IP address configured on VID 100 (1)
Figure C-7. Example of the First Instance of an Event Message and Counter

The counter indicates that this is the first instance
of this event since the switch last rebooted.
