Network Status: Ring fault

What does 1 mean?

The Device Level Ring (DLR) protocol has detected a fault, indicating a break in the ring topology. This condition compromises network redundancy and may lead to interrupted network traffic or communication failures within the ring.

• Physical cable break in one of the DLR ports of a device.
• Failure of a device integrated into the DLR, causing a disruption in the ring path.
• Misconfiguration of a DLR port that prevents proper ring closure or communication.

Click steps to track your progress.

1. 1

   Access the "DLR Status Information" web page (Figure 4-34) and click the "Verify Fault Location" button to identify the IP addresses of "Last Node Port 1" and "Last Node Port 2" where the error is detected.

2. 2

   Physically inspect the cabling and connections at the devices identified by "Last Node Port 1" and "Last Node Port 2" for any signs of damage, disconnections, or loose contacts.

3. 3

   Check the operational status and diagnostic logs of the devices connected at the identified fault locations for internal errors or power issues.
