Hi, I'm using a trunk(4) interface in failover mode on a webserver. The master interface (bge0) is connected switch1 and the backup interface (bge1) is connected to switch2.
I'm testing the fail over with a client that is pinging the webserver. Now when I plug out the network cable from switch1 the ping traffic ends up on the backup interface. No interruption, perfect. But, when I plug in the cable back again the traffic stops. Even though "ifconfig" says that bge0 is the active interface again. Only if I plug out the network cable form switch2 the traffic flows again. Is this the intended behavior of the trunk interface? I was expecting that as soon as the interface on the master switch is available again, the traffic immediately goes to the master interface again. Thanks a lot, Thomas
