SLAP_System Error Messages
This section describes Switch Link Authentication Protocol (SLAP) error
messages. In secure mode every E-port goes through mutual authentication before
the E-port formation is completed. The following error messages describe the
failures that can occur during this authentication process. The administrator
should pay close attention, since these failures can have serious security
implications for the SAN.
Message
Probable Cause
The certificate on a port could not be verified against the root certificate.
Recommended Action
A switch is trying to join a fabric and its certificate is not valid. This could be
someone trying to get into the fabric who is not allowed. If it is a switch that
should be allowed, acquire a certificate for it. If it should not be allowed, the
switch should be disconnected from the fabric.
Severity
Error
Message

The SLAP daemon could not allocate memory.
