Hi

The question is actually regarding maintenance.

I have 40+ dual homed servers, and I need to upgrade the switches.
It's not feasible to steer traffic away on each server, therefore I
asked about what can be done on the switch itself.


In job-1 we have thousand of servers in this configuration. On Linux server we just remove the interface from the bond before upgrading the concerned switch, and re-add after. I didn't know if we loss frame or packet, but from an end user point view it was transparent. Even if, TCP will do his job, and on UDP based application there re-transmission or control mechanism. But if you cannot control the server side (this look strange by the way) you can just go on, after all lacp goal is also to provide redundancy.
