Hi,

What is the make and model of the switch? Is the whole switch fatal or just a switchport?

<div>
It is an avaya p330 and it is just the stack configuration i am not seeing any faults it just says operational staus fatal. The manual says it should be ok, warning or fatal. I just cant figure why it might be in fatal yet things seem to be working. Thanks.

I have a switch stack that is showing operational status of fatal. Does any know what might be be causing this?

Anyone know why switch status would be in failed?

A switch is a device that filters and forwards packets of data between LAN segments. Switches operate at the data link layer or the network layer of the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) Reference Model and therefore support any packet protocol. LANs that use switches to join segments are called switched LANs or, in the case of Ethernet networks, switched Ethernet LANs. A hub is a connection point for devices in a network. Hubs are commonly used to connect segments of a LAN. A hub contains multiple ports; when a packet arrives at one port, it is copied to the other ports so that all segments of the LAN can see all packets.
