Verify that interfaces are up and that you have connection between nodeA and nodeB. Bring interface down: root@nodeA:~# ip link set dev ethX down Quickly check interface on nodeB: root@nodeB:~# ip link show dev ethX 5: ethX: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state DOWN qlen 10000 Wait ~2s and check interface on nodeB again: root@nodeB:~# ip link show dev ethX 5: ethX: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc mq state UP qlen 10000 ACTUAL RESULTS ============== Interface ethX on nodeB comes up after ~2s. EXPECTED RESULTS ================ Interface ethX on nodeB should not come up again. It should remain down. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ====================== This issue has been reproduced with kernel 3.14.5 (Ubuntu 14.04). This issue can *NOT* be reproduced on two machines using the igb kernel module. This issue is reproducible with Linux 4.2.3.
