BEACONING PROTECTION AND RECOVERY
The Cabletron Systems Automatic Beacon Recovery Process (ABRP) is
an effective beaconing protection and recovery system. It automatically
identifies and partitions malfunctioning ring segments and re-enables the
trunk and lobe ports associated with those segments when they are
restored to an operating condition. The ABRP is invoked when the
TRMM-2 detects excessive error frames (Beacon, Claim Token, or Purge
MAC frames) on the ring, that is, frames exceeding tolerable thresholds
associated with normal ring functioning.
The ABRP consists of a set of recovery algorithms, each one employs a
distinct troubleshooting method for determining the origin of error
frames. Using an iterative process, the ABRP launches the first recovery
algorithm and only then initiates each subsequent algorithm if the
preceding one fails to isolate the malfunctioning ring segment. A brief
description of each algorithm in the order that they may need to be used
by the ABRP is listed in
