The little switches have a limited MAC address table. If you know you have a
link where they're going to see more MACs than they can hold you set it to be a
'network' port and the switch doesn't learn MACs from there. This is meant for
a large campus environment where you have a 19xx serving a workgroup. I've
worked on some real cluster (*#&$%s over the years and I've never seen a real
world situation where this would be needed.
I'd like to hear from anyone else if they've been in some shop of horrors
where this configuration was required.
