Description

When there is any incomplete IRB configuration, the device will print the following log messages: 

PFE-3: fpc0 vlan-id(32768) to bd-id mapping doesn't exist in itable
pfex: %USER-3: vlan-id(32768) to bd-id mapping doesn't exist in itable
PFE-3: fpc0 vlan-id(32768) to bd-id mapping doesn't exist in itable
pfex: %USER-3: vlan-id(32768) to bd-id mapping doesn't exist in itable
PFE-3: fpc0 vlan-id(32768) to bd-id mapping doesn't exist in itable
pfex: %USER-3: vlan-id(32768) to bd-id mapping doesn't exist in itable

Symptoms

There is no impact apart from the above logs flooding the Syslog.

Solution

Deleting the incomplete IRB configuration will stop the logs from flooding.

For example, IRB interface is created but IP address is not assigned to it. 

set interfaces irb unit 1                           <-- Incomplete configuration
set interfaces irb unit 1 family inet address <ip>  <-- Complete configuration
