Debugging

In the meanwhile, the master node has received a Link-Down message from the switch at the
other end of the broken link (in step

3 on page 48

). Therefore, the master node realises that

the ring is broken and acts accordingly. As part of the recovery process, the master node
sends a Ring-Down-Flush-FDB message. The transit node receives this message and flushes
its forwarding database.

This is the packet shown in step

4 on page 49

of the master node debug output.

The transit node realises that its port is down, sends a Link-Down message, sends a trap, and
changes its state to Link-Down. The transit node sends this message some time after the link
actually went down, because the ring ports are 1000M ports (see

"Ports and Recovery

Times" on page 30

). Note that by this stage the ring has already changed topology to restore

traffic flow. The master node detected the link failure by receiving a Link-Down message
from the other side of the link.

This is the Link-Down message that the master switch received in step

5 on page 49

.
