A system and method of detecting/eliminating a faulty port in a fiber channel-arbitrated loop, which implements early location/elimination of a port which causes a faulty on a loop in an FC-AL. If no faulty is found in loop 7 at step 914, it can be determined that its own port normally works. Then, an enable instruction is issued to a node destined to a port on the loop 7 from loop 8 at step 915. If a fault is detected in the loop 7 at step 916, it can be determined that the port which has issued the enable instruction at step 915 has been issued faulty. The port which has issued the enable instruction at step 915 is registered as a faulty port at step 918. A bypass instruction is issued from the loop 8 at step 919.
