Reason Codes

Route Asserted, Route Selected, and Link Status event packets contain numerical reason codes which are translated into text that is displayed in the Reason column of the Event Log.

State Transition event packets contain the actual text, not a numerical code.

Numerical reason codes are divided by code category. An event packet may contain codes from more than one category, but never more than one code from any single category.

In the web interface Control Panel, explanatory messages for these reasons will be displayed in the Event Log under the Reason column heading and on the Event Details tab under the heading Details. Multiple reasons will be combined into a single comma-separated list.

Reason codes are divided into the following categories:

If the current winner is not in the winner set before evaluation of load (see Chapter 2: WAN Cost and Load Optimization in the CNA Adaptive Path Controller Guide) and the winner set is not empty, the reason code will be 202.

If the current link is in the winner set but is removed because of load evaluation, the reason code will be 205.

Explanatory messages for these codes are as follows:

Reason Decision Maker Event was Generated

100

Link restored

A link formerly declared down because of results of SNMP poll (see code 101) has been restored

101

Link declared down by SNMP poll

Link status has been declared down because of results of SNMP poll. See Link Outage Control in Chapter 3: Adaptive Path Control of the CNA Adaptive Path Controller Guide.

102

Link timeout ended by measurement

A measurement has been received over a link that had previously timed out (see code 103)

103

Link measurement timeout exceeded

No measurements have been received for the interval specified by the link-measurement-timeout command

104

Peering with router restored

CNA-to-edge router peering has been restored (see code 105)

105

CNA-to-router peering down

CNA-to-edge router BGP peering has been lost

200

Outage on link restored

A previously detected outage to a prefix across the link has been restored (see code 201)

201

Outage detected on link

The prefix is no longer reachable through the link

204

Decision maker has sufficient measurements for prefix

The prefix has generated sufficient measurements through the link.

205

Decision maker does not have sufficient measurements for prefix

There are insufficient measurements through the link for the prefix.

Reason Decision Maker Event was Generated

500

Data invalid

No longer able to accept data for the prefix (BGP has withdrawn the route to it, or a user-defined prefix has been removed from the configuration)

501

Unknown next hop in BGP route

A BGP route contains an unknown next hop (could be a route through a service provider not optimized by the CNA system)

502

Data insufficient for decision

or

Data is now sufficient for decision

Sufficient-data threshold has been crossed (see min-required-measurements command)

503

Cannot assert, not all routers know of route

Cannot assert a route because of the CNA command require-routes-from-all-routers

504

Route has been withdrawn

Route was withdrawn after the CNA system has spoken to the router, and the CNA command require-routes-from-all-routers has not been enabled
