Preforwarding

Software Version

Hardware Version
All “i” series
Explanation
The message indicates that the port status has been changed from preforwarding to ready.
When the common link is up after a down state, the controller moves from blocking state to
preforwarding state. While the switch is in preforwarding state, the ports will be blocked thus
preventing the formation of a temporary loop. After the EAPS has converged and the EAPS master has
blocked its own secondary port, the ESP controller moves all its ports to forwarding state and moves
back to the ready state.
