3750x Stack is repeatedly showing error " %ADJ-3-RESOLVE_REQ : Adj

resolve request: Failed to resolve <IP Address> <vlan ID>..
Unanswered Question

pperry@transtar1.com May 27th, 2014

Good Morning,
I have a 3750x stack running 15.0(2)SE6.
Today I started seeing some weird problems in the logs
" %ADJ-3-RESOLVE_REQ : Adj resolve request: Failed to resolve <IP Address> <vlan ID>..
To my knowledge no changes have been made except updating the NTP and Timezone settings
of the switch.
The problems is that before I rebooted a vmWare - Host all communication with said host
worked like a champ. After reboot of said host, the only communications that work are from
the host outward. Anyone have any ideas? I would love to reboot, but as this is production
hours that is not an option.
I have this problem too.

Seems that if your logged in you can't search this bug. If you google it while your logged out
google will come up with a hit and you can read the bug.
The the text under conditions does not make any sense to me. Nobody wants to see a log
message every time the device needs to resolve an arp entry. You shouldn't have to disable
something the makes the switch perform better just to avoid filling up the log with garbage.
The message interpreter tells you
Explanation

An internal software error occurred.

The details tell you to open a tac case.

Bottom line is..Will it be fixed, and in what code level will it be fixed.

If we are talking about 15.0(2)SE6 on 3750x you should try "no ip cef optimize neighbor
resolution" - that should do the trick. (this option was disabled by default on 12.2 train, but
enabled by default on 15.0) The other way is to try to hunt down all arp "incomplete" entries
and check the issues with them - that would solve the problem with messages too.

Thank very much for this post, I have tried and so far so good

I upgraded from 12.2 to 15.0(2)SE7 and I was seeing this log a lot... so default behaviour
makes all sense to me :)

Best regards,

This was the direction I received from TAC after we experienced the same issue when moving
to 15.0(2)SE6.
"no ip cef optimize neighbor resolution"

it seems to be a bug that as per the cisco is resolved on the latest IOS version 15.2.xx.
However I have a question, do you have dhcp snooping configured??

I'm also using the 3750x in a stack config wtih 15.0(2)SE6. My switches didn't seem to
respond to the command "no ip cef"
Instead, I removed this log message by entering the command: "no ip route-cache cef"
Following instructions at this link:
