Abstract

A troubleshooting method and apparatus for an edge routing bridge (RB) in a Transparent Interconnection of Lots of Links (TRILL) campus, which belong to the field of communications technologies, where the method includes detecting, by a first edge RB in a multi-homing access group, whether an access link of the first edge RB is faulty, and sending, by the first edge RB, a fault notification message to one or more other edge RBs except the first edge RB in the multi-homing access group using the TRILL campus, when the access link of the first edge RB is faulty, where the fault notification message is used to notify the one or more other edge RBs that the access link of the first edge RB is faulty, and hence effectively increase a network convergence speed and network reliability.
