FIELD: radio engineering, communication.
SUBSTANCE: method begins by determining that the network device no longer communicates with its neighboring network device. The network device then determines that its partner network device no longer communicates with the neighboring network device for the partner network device. The network device determines that the first portal, to which the network device belongs, has a higher portal priority than the second portal, to which the partner network device belongs. Each portal is assigned a portal priority, and it determines that the network device has a lower priority of the network device than the neighboring network device, with each network device being assigned a priority of the network device. The network device then stops sending and receiving frames of the link aggregation group in the network device.
EFFECT: simplifying the provision of services through a distributed, fault-tolerant internetwork system.
