HAL.FDB.MacVlanAddFail

Description

The specified MAC-based Vlan entry was not added. This will cause any untagged packets received using this MAC address as the source to not be assigned to the correct Vlan and be dropped or mishandled. The errorMsg field gives additional information from the low-level software layer on why the failure occurred.

Remedy

Changing the forwarding hash-algorithm will change the way this hardware resource is programmed. Generally, crc32 performs better table utilization than crc16 but that is not always true for a given MAC address set. Since this resource is shared by a block of ports, the user can connect fewer ports to each block to help mitigate this condition.
