Title

In the event of a device failure, Enterprise Voice, Video, and Messaging Endpoints must preserve any information necessary to determine cause of failure and return to operations with least disruption to service. (Cat II impact)

Discussion

Failure in a known state can address safety or security in accordance with the mission needs of the organization. Failure to a known secure state helps prevent a loss of confidentiality, integrity, or availability in the event of a failure of the information system or a component of the system. Preserving network element state information helps to facilitate network element restart and return to the operational mode of the organization with less disruption to mission-essential processes.
