A customer edge device is connected, in a multi-homed configuration, to a device via a downlink of the device and to another device via another downlink of the other device. The device may determine that each of one or more uplinks of the device has an inactive interface status and may thereby cause the downlink of the device to be down. This may cause the customer edge device to communicate network traffic via the other downlink of the other device. The device may determine that at least one uplink, of the one or more uplinks, has an active interface status and may thereby cause the downlink to be up. This may cause the customer edge device to communicate network traffic via the downlink of the device.

Controlling downlink interface configuration based on uplink interface network and protocol state

A power sourcing equipment may provide fault detection, fault recovery, and redundancy in a Power over Ethernet system. The power sourcing equipment may apply voltage to an data port to transmit at least an amount of power requested by a powered device to the powered device over each of a plurality of pairs of wires of an data cable operably coupled to the data port. The power sourcing equipment may identify an occurrence of a fault in one or more pairs of wires out of the plurality of pairs of wires making up the data cable. The power sourcing equipment may, in response to identifying the occurrence of the fault, perform power recovery to supply the amount of power requested by the powered device to the powered device over a remaining one or more pairs of wires.
