Error Message DOT1X_SWITCH-5-ERR_VLAN_INVALID: Attempt to assign invalid VLAN [dec] 
to 802.1x port [chars] 

An attempt was made to assign an invalid VLAN to an IEEE 802.1x port. The VLAN 

specified is out of range. [dec] is the VLAN, and [chars] is the port. 

Update the configuration to use a valid VLAN. 

Error Message DOT1X_SWITCH-5-ERR_VLAN_NOT_FOUND: Attempt to assign non-existent or 
shutdown VLAN [dec] to 802.1x port [chars] 

An attempt was made to assign a VLAN to an IEEE 802.1x port, but the VLAN was not 

found in the VLAN Trunking Protocol (VTP) database. [dec] is the VLAN, and [chars] is the port. 

Make sure that the VLAN exists and is not shut down, or use another VLAN. 

Error Message DOT1X_SWITCH-5-ERR_VLAN_ON_ROUTED_PORT: Dot1x cannot assign a VLAN 
[dec] to a routed port [chars]

An attempt was made to assign a VLAN to a supplicant on a routed port, which is not 

allowed. [dec] is the VLAN ID and [chars] is the port. 

Either disable the VLAN assignment, or change the port type to a nonrouted 

port. 

Error Message DOT1X_SWITCH-5-ERR_VLAN_PROMISC_PORT: Attempt to assign VLAN [dec] to 
promiscuous 802.1x port [chars] 

An attempt was made to assign a VLAN to a promiscuous IEEE 802.1x port, which is 

not allowed. [dec] is the VLAN, and [chars] is the port. 

Change the port mode so that it is no longer a promiscuous port, or change the 

configuration so that no VLAN is assigned. 

Error Message DOT1X_SWITCH-5-ERR_VLAN_RESERVED: Attempt to assign reserved VLAN 
[dec] to 802.1x port [chars] 

An attempt was made to assign an invalid VLAN to an IEEE 802.1x port. The VLAN 

specified is a reserved VLAN and cannot be assigned to this port. [dec] is the VLAN, and [chars] is 
the port. 

Assign a different VLAN. 

Error Message DOT1X_SWITCH-5-ERR_VLAN_RSPAN: Attempt to assign RSPAN VLAN [dec] to 
802.1x port [chars]. 802.1x is incompatible with RSPAN 

This message means that remote SPAN should not be enabled on a VLAN with 

IEEE 802.1x-enabled. [dec] is the VLAN, and [chars] is the port. 

Either disable remote SPAN configuration on the VLAN, or disable 

IEEE 802.1x on all the ports in this VLAN.
