Receive syslog " no free chunk available " from C3550

Hi all,

Could anyone give me a suggestion to solve this problem ?

I have searched from CCO but no relative question was found .

Thanks.

Could you post the whole syslog message please. Usually the most identifiable part is the bit on the front.

It sounds like buffer exhaustion, but that is just a guess.

Hi Kevin

The full message was :

STP: opt: VLAN0103: get ports: no free chunk available

Thanks for your reply.

Have you tried pasting the complete syslog message to the TAC Error Message Decoder (http://www.cisco.com/cgi-bin/Support/Errordecoder/index.cgi)?

Well it looks like somthing is filling up your memory.

Can you do something on the switch?, logging in, do a show run, or something like that?

Maybe a virus/worm filling up your 3550?

Hi

I have received similar error messages on my switches informing of out of chunks of memory. I couldn't get any further info from the error message decoder so i proceeded to TAC.

According to the tac engineer, there was a high probability of SQL worm causing exhaustion to the memory.

Hope this helps.
