In a ring redundant communication path control method, each of transfer apparatuses periodically transmits an inspection frame for inspecting a communication path, detects a failure of the communication path when the inspection frame is not received for a fixed time, transmits a non-arrival notification frame for notifying that the inspection frame has not arrived yet, and detects a failure of the communication path when the non-arrival notification frame is received. Each of the transfer apparatuses closes, when a failure is detection, a port in which the failure is detected, transmits an open command frame for commanding to open a mainly closed port from the other port other than the closed port, transfers an open command frame when the open command frame is received, and opens the mainly closed port when the other port other than the closed port in which the failure is detected, the port in which the open command frame is detected, or the other port configuring a ring redundant communication path same as that of the port is the mainly closed port. |
