Explanation
This message indicates that the fail timer flag is set. This occurs when the fail timer expires, but the fail
timer should not expire. If there is an actual break in the ring, the master should receive a Link-Down
message from the Transit. If the master did not receive a Link-Down message from Transit, and did not
receive its own health check PDU for three seconds, there is a problem in the ring that must be resolved
as soon as possible.
Action
Troubleshooting is required immediately. Is there an actual break in the ring? Was a Link-Down_pdu
sent to the master? Is the ring complete, but due to a misconfiguration of the Control VLAN, the master
is not receiving its own PDUs? Is there a broadcast storm on the ring, which is why the master's PDUs
are getting dropped? Is there a hardware problem on one of the switches which is not allowing the
control PDUs to go through?
