This chapter describes messages with the L2ALD prefix. They are generated by the Layer 2 address learning process (l2ald), which supports the dynamic acquisition of information about media access control (MAC) addresses in a Layer 2 bridge environment.
Limit on components reached for flood next hop for routing instance 'routing-instance', domain 'bridge-domain:vlan-id'
The limit on the number of logical interfaces for a flood next hop was reached for the indicated routing instance and bridging domain. Only a subset of new interfaces were added to the next hop.
Event: This message reports an event, not an error
error
Unable to complete gencfg operation operation (major type, minor subtype): error-message
The Layer 2 address learning process (l2ald) could not send Layer 2 forwarding-related information to the Packet Forwarding Engines, because the indicated operation failed during configuration generation.
Error: An error occurred
error
Contact your technical support representative.

Unable to send IPC message to peer-name identifier
The Layer 2 address learning process (l2ald) could not send an interprocess communication (IPC) message to the indicated Layer 2 peer.
Error: An error occurred
warning
Contact your technical support representative.
Unable to write on pipe: error-message
The Layer 2 address learning process (l2ald) could not write to an interprocess communication (IPC) pipe for the indicated reason.
Error: An error occurred
error
One possible reason is that there was no reader for the pipe.
Contact your technical support representative.
Limit on learned MAC addresses reached for routing instance 'routing-instance', domain 'bridge-domain:vlan-id'; current count is count
The Layer 2 address learning process (l2ald) stopped adding addresses to the MAC address table that were learned by interfaces in the indicated bridging domain, because the indicated count of learned addresses exceeds the configured or default limit for the bridge-domain.
Event: This message reports an event, not an error
error
Increase the limit on addresses learned by interfaces in the bridge domain, by increasing the value of the 'interface-mac-limit' statement at the [edit routing-instances <routing-instance-name> bridge-domains <bridge-domain-name> bridge-options] hierarchy level.
Global limit on learned MAC addresses reached; current count is count
The Layer 2 address learning process (l2ald) stopped adding addresses to the MAC address table, because the indicated count of learned addresses exceeds the limit for the router.
Event: This message reports an event, not an error
error
Increase the limit on addresses learned by the interfaces on the router by increasing the value of the 'global-mac-limit' statement at the [edit protocols l2-learning] hierarchy level.
Limit on learned MAC addresses reached for interface-name; current count is count
The Layer 2 address learning process (l2ald) stopped adding addresses to the MAC address table that were learned by the indicated interface, because the indicated count of learned addresses exceeds the limit configured for the interface.
Event: This message reports an event, not an error
error
Increase the limit on addresses learned by the interface by increasing the value of the 'interface-mac-limit' statement at the appropriate location under the [edit routing-instances <routing-instance-name> bridge-domains <bridge-domain-name> bridge-options] or the [edit routing-instances <routing-instance-name> protocols vpls] hierarchy level.
Limit on learned MAC addresses reached for interface-name; current count is count
The Layer 2 address learning process (l2ald) stopped adding addresses to the MAC address table that were learned by the indicated interface:vlan-id, because the indicated count of learned addresses exceeds the limit configured for the interface:vlan-id.
Event: This message reports an event, not an error
error
Increase the limit on addresses learned by the interface by increasing the value of the 'interface-mac-limit' statement at the appropriate location under the [edit routing-instances <routing-instance-name> bridge-domains <bridge-domain-name> bridge-options] or the [edit routing-instances <routing-instance-name> protocols vpls] hierarchy level.
Limit on learned MAC addresses reached for routing instance 'routing-instance'; current count is count
The Layer 2 address learning process (l2ald) stopped adding addresses to the MAC address table that were learned by interfaces in the indicated routing instance, because the indicated count of learned addresses exceeds the configured or default limit for the routing-instance.
Event: This message reports an event, not an error
error
Increase the limit on addresses learned by interfaces in the routing-instance, by increasing the value of the 'interface-mac-limit' statement at the [edit routing-instances <routing-instance-name> protocol l2-learning] or the [edit routing-instances <routing-instance-name> protocols vpls] hierarchy level.
Resumed adding MAC addresses learned from routing instance 'routing-instance', domain 'bridge-domain:vlan-id'; current count is count
The Layer 2 address learning process (l2ald) resumed adding addresses to the MAC address table that were learned by interfaces in the indicated bridging domain, because the indicated count of learned addresses no longer exceeds the limit configured for the domain.
Event: This message reports an event, not an error
error
The probable reason that the count of addresses went below the limit is that addresses in the table reached the age limit and were removed.
Resumed adding MAC addresses for router; current count is count
The Layer 2 address learning process (l2ald) resumed adding addresses to the MAC address table, because the indicated count of learned addresses no longer exceeds the configured limit.
Event: This message reports an event, not an error
error
The probable reason that the count of addresses went below the limit is that addresses in the table reached the age limit and were removed.
Resumed adding MAC addresses learned by interface-name; current count is count
The Layer 2 address learning process (l2ald) resumed adding addresses to the MAC address table that were learned by the indicated interface, because the indicated count of learned addresses no longer exceeds the limit configured for the interface.
Event: This message reports an event, not an error
error
The probable reason that the count of addresses went below the limit is that addresses in the table reached the age limit and were removed.
Resumed adding MAC addresses learned from routing instance 'routing-instance'; current count is count
The Layer 2 address learning process (l2ald) resumed adding addresses to the MAC address table that were learned by interfaces in the indicated bridging domain, because the indicated count of learned addresses no longer exceeds the limit configured for the instance.
Event: This message reports an event, not an error
error
The probable reason that the count of addresses went below the limit is that addresses in the table reached the age limit and were removed.
Unable to allocate memory: error-message
The Layer 2 address learning process (l2ald) could not allocate memory while creating a data structure.
Error: An error occurred
error
Contact your technical support representative.
Unable to create pipe to Layer 2 address-learning manager: error-message
The Layer 2 address learning process (l2ald) could not open a pipe for interprocess communication (IPC) with a Layer 2 address-learning manager process.
Error: An error occurred
error
Contact your technical support representative.
Unable to add interface device interface-name; name exceeds limit of length characters
The Layer 2 address learning process (l2ald) did not add an entry for the indicated interface device to the interface table, because its name exceeds the indicated limit on the number of characters.
Error: An error occurred
error
Contact your technical support representative.
Unable to add interface family interface-family; name exceeds limit of length characters
The Layer 2 address learning process (l2ald) did not add an entry for the indicated interface family to the interface table, because its name exceeds the indicated limit on the number of characters.
Error: An error occurred
error
Contact your technical support representative.
Unable to add logical interface interface-name; name exceeds limit of length characters
The Layer 2 address learning process (l2ald) did not add an entry for the indicated logical interface to the interface table, because its name exceeds the indicated limit on the number of characters.
