Abstract

The invention is a system and method for detecting and suppressing faults on network elements located in various logical groups ina communication network. The logical groups include VLANs (virtual local area networks), VPNs (virtual private network), LAN (local area network) Emulation over ATM, and other types of logical groups. The invention may also be used with one or more elements of a network management system.
