Explanation / Answer
1.VFC down due to FIP Solicitation failure
Once FIP-VLAN discovery has succeed then FIP sends Solicitations. The switch should respond with FIP advertisement, if the response is not sent or advertisement is not sent to the Solicitation received then VCF will be down for this they are some reasons
Like no active fiber
Sometimes fiber not available
2. Regarding the alignment and misalignment it is clearly mentioned that the FBI needs to change its culture and again trust in technology and its potential. They had to become centralized and move from a decentralized 'amalgam of some filed offic3s to an integrated global operation capable to share information in real time introducing "trilogy" it would have been possible to do so by providing to all units 30000 desktop pcs communication over high band wodth network interconnected to all FBI locations globally using VCF web based processes it VCF has succeed
3.in my view it will work if the workers attitude can be changed if they want it and not only attitude the culture and old way of working with filing paper case files they must truly see the potential of technology and it and how iy makes difference
