4.Port 1 comes back up

The transit node detects that port 1 has come back up. It sends a trap and changes the EPSR state to Pre-forwarding. Note that it leaves port 1 blocked for vlan2, to make sure there are no loops.

Block EPSR:test port:1 VLAN:2 EPSR test, Port 1 port up

EPSR test oldState:LINK-DOWN newState:PRE-FORWARDING

5.Transit node receives a Health message

Now that the master node’s primary port is up again, it sends a Health message. Now that the transit node’s port 1 is up again for the control VLAN, the transit node receives the message. This demonstrates that the transit node has only blocked port 1 for the data VLAN, not the control VLAN. EPSR control messages never loop because the master node never forwards them between its ring ports.

Note that the hello sequence number increments from the number it was before the primary port went down, because the master node could not transmit Health messages while the port was down.

This is the packet shown in step 8 on page 39 of the master node debug output.
