Port Problems
Symptom: One of the bridge ports is unexpectedly blocking.
Action:
■Check that you do not have a redundant link, causing the port to
block.

network, this will cause an active loop resulting in further
network problems.

reinstall it. It is unlikely that any problems will result from this
operation. For more information on possible problems, see
Removing And Replacing Equipment on page 6-8.

Action:
■Check the Bridge Statistics and Ethernet Statistics screens for
excessive CRC errors.
■Check external port's connection.
■Excessive use of custom filtering - disable unnecessary custom
filtering.
■Time taken updating monitoring screens - return to the Main
Menu whenever possible.
