A relay device is capable of associating a plurality of network-side ports to a server-side port connected to an adapter 310 of a server 300. The relay device detects a failure and recovery from the failure as events for each of the network-side ports associated with the server-side port, and transmits to the server 300 a control frame indicating the network-side port in which the event was detected and the type of the event. The control frame is received by the adapter 310, and is processed by a link status management unit 320. The link status management unit 320 individually turns on/off an associated virtual interface 312a among virtual interfaces 312a configured on a virtual layer unit 312, in accordance with the control frame. |
