EAPSD: Preforward Timer Expired
EAPS: EAPSD eaps1b - Preforward-timer expired
Software Version
ExtremeWare 7.2 and later
Hardware Version
All “i” and “e” series
Explanation
This message indicates that the preforwarding timer has expired and the port is about to open.
The EAPS port is moving to up state from link-down (physical link down) state. The port will be in
preforwarding or blocking state till it receives the flush PDU from the EAPS master or till the
preforwarding timer expires. The preforwarding or blocking state prevents loops on EAPS ring.
Action
• Check why the EAPS Transit node did not receive the flush PDU before the preforwarding timer
expired.
• Adjust the timer, if needed.
