      Characterization of Catastrophic Fault Patterns (CFPs) and their enumeration have been studied by several authors. Given a linear array with a set of bypass links, an important problem is how to count the number of CFPs. Enumeration of CFPs for two link redundancy \(G={1,g}\) has been solved for both unidirectional and bidirectional link cases. In this paper, we consider the more general case of link redundancy \(G=\{1,2,\dots,k,g\}\), \(2<k<g\). Using random walk as a tool, we enumerate CFPs for both unidirectional and bidirectional cases.
