Some hosts/OS can do load balancing between NICs. If a host has two NICs connected to two switches,(the two switches are connected together) and load balancing between them, switch will see the same source MAC from two ports. How does a switch decide which ports to put in the forwarding table? Would it switch back and forth every time there is a packet? Is there any negative effect on the switch when that happens? Is this platform dependent?
Sorry for the generalized question. _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
