[e-nsp] Cannot create a new vlan Error message?

[Marcel]

Well, that's an easy one! :)

Upgrade to 7.4.1b5 (the latest GA software) and good change that your 
problem is solved already. Since ExtremeWare 7.0 there are changes in the 
OTP processing which saves a lot of ptag blocks.

The "show igmp snooping" command is used to see if a source has more then 
100 multicast streams. If so, the source might be infected by a worm virus 
and thus consuming all the resources.

6.2.2 is almost ancient software and is no longer supported by Extreme TAC 
so an upgrade is highly recomended.

Cheers,

Marcel
