Hi I have a couple of boxes running 3.4 acting as bridges in parallel.
Now that I have the spanning tree stuff set up they now coexist happily
however when I unplug the active bridge the load does not appear to fail
over to the other one.
Unfortunately I don't have a test setup so I am working on the live
system with several 1000 users behind it and I am limited to to one
small test early in the morning each day. Sigh...
I have one question: how long should the bridges take to failover, given
that there are only two bridges in the network?
I have appended the output from brconfig bridge0 for both machines.
Anything indications of what is wrong? should I set the priorities
differently so we have a primary and a secondary?
on the active machine:
bridge0: flags=3041<UP,RUNNING,LINK0,LINK1>
Configuration:
priority 32768 hellotime 2 fwddelay 15 maxage 20
Interfaces:
bge1 flags=f<LEARNING,DISCOVER,BLOCKNONIP,STP>
port 4 ifpriority 128 ifcost 55 forwarding
bge0 flags=f<LEARNING,DISCOVER,BLOCKNONIP,STP>
port 3 ifpriority 128 ifcost 55 forwarding
