https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=156226 --- Comment #16 from pvz@itassistans.se --- In this case it's not even a case of a protocol though, it's rather just some functionality to prod even the dumbest stack of switches that are smart enough to know about MAC learning to do the right thing. I think though that this could well be made into a really simple user-space daemon with a few hundred lines of code and no configuration file, though it would be "cleaner" (for a regular end user) for it to just be built into lagg. The code would be something like: every now and then, iterate over all laggs. If the master has changed, send out an ethernet frame on the interface, and on any VLAN interfaces on top of the lagg. Would that be something that could be included in the base system as a feature rather than just adding the functionality to lagg? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
