Possible Solution

Possible Cause

Problem

Ensure the Router Protocol setting is
configured for the correct protocol and
verify the Router IP Address entry.

The router protocol type or the router
IP address may be set wrong.

When using the Router Path
mechanism, all members in a team
show a yellow X with a status of
"Degraded (Router Path)";
however, all adapters are operating
successfully.

Ensure that the Default VLAN ID and
Router Path VLAN ID are the same in
the NCU.

The Default/Native VLAN ID and the
Router Path VLAN ID do not match
when the ports on the switch have
not been tagged to any VLAN.

When using the Router Path
mechanism, all members in a team
show a yellow X with a status of
"Degraded (Router Path)";
however, all adapters are operating
successfully.

Go to Advanced Redundancy Tab and
enable the failover mechanism such as
Active Path Failover or Fast Path Failover
or Router Path Failover for which you
are unable to set VLAN ID.

Open the NCU and go to the Information
tab for the team. Check the Current
Mode. If the current team mode is
802.3ad Dynamic with Fault Tolerance
or SLB (Switch-assisted Load Balancing),
this is normal behavior. These team
modes do not support Fast Path Failover,
Active Path Failover and Router Path
Failover.

If you are unable to set the VLAN ID for
fast path even though Fast Path has been
selected in the Advanced Redundancy
tab, then consider changing the Spanning
Tree Protocol as Cisco PVST+.

This may be expected behavior based
on the configured settings.

Unable to select VLAN ID for
Active Path, Fast Path, and Router
Path.

Possible Solution

Possible Cause

Problem

If this information is important to you,
consider using CDPv2 instead.

This is expected behavior when using
CDPv1. This feature is only available
with CDPv2.

When using CDPv1, the
information tab does not display
the VTP management domain
name for my devices.

Install an Integrity Essentials Intelligent
Networking Pack license key.

This is expected behavior for
licensable features.

The Discovery Protocol Settings
group is disabled and I can't set the
CDP or LLDP.
