Solution

These log messages are harmless, as they indicate the event bandwidth of an interface. This is expected behavior and no action is required.

The AE interfaces have dynamic bandwidth and whenever there is a change in bandwidth, the kernel notifies the RPD. Based on child IFLs, the bandwidth will change, and RPD is notified whenever there is a change.
