Possible Causes

Cause 1: VRRP FLOW DOWN
Cause 2: VE FLOW DOWN

Procedure

Cause 1: VRRP FLOW DOWN
1. Run the display vrrp command in the system view to check the VRRP status.
- If the management VRRP state is Down, see the VRRP fault handling procedure.
- If the management VRRP state is Up, go to Step 2.
2. Collect the trap and configuration information, and contact Huawei technical support personnel.
Cause 2: VE FLOW DOWN
1. Run the display interface virtual-ethernet ve-number command to check the VE interface status.
- If the VE interface is Down, go to Step 2.
- If the VE interface is Up. go to Step 4.
2. Collect configuration information on the main interface.
- If the main interface is an L2VPN termination interface, see the L2VPN fault handling procedure.
- If the main interface is an L3VPN termination interface, go to Step 3.
3. Collect configuration information on the L3VPN termination sub-interface and check whether the VLAN ID and IPv4 address configured on the sub-interface are correct.
- If the configurations are incorrect, go to Step 4.
- If the configurations are correct, check whether the alarm is cleared. If the alarm persists, go to Step 4.
