mode 1. No special switch configuration. spanning tree not enabled. I have 100+ Linux servers, all of which use bonding. The network has been stable for 10 years. No changes recently. However, this is the second time that we have seen high latency and traced it down to the behavior of one particular server. I'm wondering if there is something about bonding that could result in a temporary bridge loop.

What bonding mode are you using? Some modes require additional configuration from the switch to avoid flooding. Also, is spanning tree enabled on the switches?

We noticed that one of our 100 Linux servers became unresponsive and appears to have rebooted. (The cause has not been determined.) A couple of minutes afterwards, we saw a gigantic spike in traffic on all switches in the network that lasted for about 7 minutes, causing latency and packet loss on the network. Everything was still reachable, but slowly. The condition stopped as soon as the Linux server in question became reachable again. -- Eric Robinson _______________________________________________ Users mailing list: Users@clusterlabs.org<mailto:Users@clusterlabs.org> http://clusterlabs.org/mailman/listinfo/users Project Home: http://www.clusterlabs.org Getting started: http://www.clusterlabs.org/doc/Cluster_from_Scratch.pdf Bugs: http://bugs.clusterlabs.org
