Inter-chassis link failure management system

An Information Handling System, comprising:

• a processing system;
• and
• a memory system that is coupled to the processing system and that is configured to execute instructions from the memory system to provide an Inter-Chassis Link (ICL) failure management engine that is configured to:
• determine that an ICL, which is included in a control network and configured to provide a primary control channel for transmitting control information to a first switch device, is unavailable;
• cause a first port and a second port, which provide a first aggregated link to a second switch device, to be added to the control network to provide a primary backup control channel;
• and
• send control information to the first switch device through the primary backup control channel via the first port and the second port.

A method for Inter-Chassis Link failure management, comprising:

• determining, by a first switch device, that an Inter-Chassis Link (ICL) is unavailable, wherein the ICL is included in a control network and configured to provide a primary control channel for transmitting control information to a second switch device;
• causing, by the first switch device, a first port and a second port to be added to the control network to provide a primary backup control channel, wherein the first port and the second port provide a first aggregated link to a third switch device;
• and
• sending, by the first switch device, control information to the second switch device through the primary backup control channel via the first port and the second port.
