PIM-DM (Dense Mode)
Messages Related to PIM Operation

Message

Meaning

Rcvd pkt from rtr

< ip-address >, unkwn

A packet received from the router at < ip-address > is an

pkt type

< value > (<counter>)

unknown PIM packet type. (The < value > variable is the
numeric value received in the packet.)

Rcvd pkt ver#

< ver-num >, from

The versions of PIM-DM on the sending and receiving

< ip-address >, expected < ver-num >

routers do not match. Differing versions will typically be
compatible, but features not supported in both versions will

(<

counter>)

not be available.

Rcvd unkwn addr fmly

< addr-type > in

The router received a PIM packet with an unrecognized

< text-str > pkt from < ip-addr > (<counter>)

encoding. As of February, 2004, the router recognizes IPv4
encoding.

Rcvd unkwn opt

< opt-nbr > in < text-string >

The router received a PIM packet carrying an unknown PIM

pkt from

< ip-addr > (<counter>)

option. The packet may have been generated by a newer
version of PIM-DM, or is corrupt. In most cases, normal
PIM-DM operation will continue.

Send error(

< failure-type >) on

Indicates a send error on a packet. This can occur if a VLAN

< packet-type > pkt on VID < vid >

went down right after the packet was sent. The message

(<

counter>)

indicates the failure type, the packet type, and the VLAN ID
on which the packet was sent.

Unable to alloc

< text-str > table

The router was not able to create some tables PIM-DM

(<

counter>)

uses. Indicates that the router is low on memory resources.
Remedies include one or more of the following:
• Reduce the number of configured VLANs by moving

some VLANs to another router.

• Free up system resources by disabling another feature,

such as one of the spanning-tree protocols or either the
RIP or the OSPF routing protocol. (Unless you are using
static routes, you will need to retain a minimum of one
unicast routing protocol.) Another option that may help
is to reduce the number of configured QoS filters.

• Move some hosts that create multicast demand to

another router.

Unable to alloc a buf of size
< bytes > for < data-flow > (<counter>)

Multicast routing is unable to acquire memory for a flow.
Router memory is oversubscribed. Reduce the number of
VLANs or the number of features in use. Remedies include
one or more of the following:
• Reduce the number of configured VLANs by moving

some VLANs to another router.

• Free up system resources by disabling another feature,

such as one of the spanning-tree protocols or either the
RIP or the OSPF routing protocol. (Unless you are using
static routes, you will need to retain a minimum of one
unicast routing protocol.) Another option that may help
is to reduce the number of configured QoS filters.

• Move some hosts that create multicast demand to

another router.
