* The Open vSwitch version number (as output by "ovs-vswitchd --version").
ovs-vswitchd (Open vSwitch) 1.2.2
Compiled Oct 18 2011 19:28:29
OpenFlow versions 0x1:0x1
* Upstream switch
Cisco Nexus 7000
* What you did that make the problem appear.
- configured OVS with LACP bonding:
ovs-vsctl add-bond br0 bond0 eth0 eth1 bond-mode=balance-tcp lacp=passive
other_config:lacp-time=slow
- turn an interface down (either at switch or server side):
ifconfig eth0 down
- verify the link is reported down by the OS:
ethtool eth0
Settings for eth0:
[...]
Link detected: no
* What you expected to happen.
If the status of a physical link is down, no matter what LACP timeout value I
select, that port should be disabled and removed from the Link Aggregation
group immediately.
* What actually happened.
- the port is not detached immediately as reported by ovs-appctl lacp/show bond0
- server keeps trying to send packets over eth0 data path
- eth0 is eventually detached after LACP timeout kicks-in, which is about 90
seconds later.
- the problem is mitigated by using lacp-time=fast, but this is not an option
in our case because we lose Cisco ISSU support.
* The kernel version on which Open vSwitch is running
Linux version 3.0.0-12-server (buildd@crested) (gcc version 4.6.1
(Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.1-9ubuntu3) )
Ubuntu 11.10
* The output of "ovs-dpctl show".

* A fix or workaround, if you have one.
The problem is mitigated by using lacp-time=fast, but this is not an option in
our case because we lose switch ISSU support.
* Any other information that you think might be relevant.
I tried either miimon or carrier for other_config:bond-detect-mode with the
same result. It seems that the OVS link detection will only kick-in when
lacp-time expires which is not what the LACP timeout is meant for.
