14.3.1 Error Location and recovery processing
Recovery processing differs according to the nature of the problem. The following table describes error locations and the recovery processing.
Error location |
Switch response |
Recovery processing |
Scope of effect |
---|---|---|---|
Error detected at a port |
Automatic recovery of the applicable port is performed six times per hour. If a failure occurs at the sixth auto-recovery attempt, the switch stops. #However, if the system is operated for one hour or more after the first failure, the automatic recovery count is initialized. |
Re-initializes the affected port. |
Communication via the affected port is suspended. |
Main board (CPU) failure |
Makes auto-recovery attempts up to six times. If a failure occurs at the sixth auto-recovery attempt, the switch stops. The number of auto-recovery attempts are reset after one hour of post recovery operation. |
Re-initializes the main board. For the sixth automatic recovery, the running-config is initialized and VLAN status is set to disable to start. |
Communication via all ports on the switch is suspended. |
Main board (SW) failure |
Makes six auto-recovery attempts in one hour. If a failure occurs at the sixth auto-recovery attempt, the switch stops. #However, if the system is operated for one hour or more after the first failure, the automatic recovery count is initialized. |
Re-initializes the switching processor. |
Communication via all ports on the switch is suspended. |
Power supply (PS) failure |
Stops when the power required to run the switch ceases to be supplied. Keeps running if power redundancy has been configured. |
Stops the switch. Keeps running if power redundancy has been configured. |
Communication via all ports on the switch is suspended. If the redundant power supply unit is used, communication is not suspended. |
Fan failure |
Increases the speed of the other fan. |
There is no means of auto-recovery. Replace the power supply unit or failed fan unit. |
The other fan runs faster, but this does not affect communications. |
#: Auto-recovery will not be performed if you have disabled recovery processing by using the no system recovery configuration command.
