4.The master node receives a Link-Down message on its secondary port

The master node receives a Link-Down message on its secondary port (port 2) from transit node B, which is at the other end of the broken link.

In the System field, this output shows the MAC address of the source of the message—the transit node in this case.

5.The master node transmits a Ring-Down-Flush-FDB message

The master switch responds to the break in the ring by sending a Ring-Down-Flush-FDB message, which tells each transit node to learn the new topology. The master node also unblocks its secondary port for the data VLAN (vlan2), flushes its FDB, sends an SNMP trap, and changes the EPSR state to Failed. Note that the master node sends the Ring-Down- Flush-FDB message only out its secondary port, because the link between the primary port and the neighbouring transit node is down.
