Sorry, I didn't explicitly say, but the "brctl setfd ${switch} 4" change
reduces the forward delay to 4 seconds..
A clearer option may be to:
echo 4 > /sys/class/net/${switch}/bridge/forward_delay
This may cause problems in a network topology where the spanning tree
protocol is in use (which is possible in a HA setup, as it is one
technique for making a setup which is resilient to NIC or switch failures).
The most complete solution is probably to check
/sys/class/net/${switch}/bridge/stp_state (or "brctl show") - and where
that shows that STP is already enabled on the bridge, delay - otherwise
just reduce the forward delay (as above).
Cheers,
Tim.
