(in the above example, this is Port 0/5 of the switch). To ensure the MAC address is disassociated with one port and re-associated with another port in the ARP table, you must configure the command mac-address-table station-move refresh-arp on the Dell Force10 switch at the time that NIC teaming is being configured on the server. Note: If this command is not configured, traffic continues to be forwarded to the failed NIC until the ARP entry on the switch times out. Figure 28-2. Configuring mac-address-table station-move refresh-arp Command X MAC: A:B:C:D:E:F IP: 1.1.1.1 Port 0/1 Move MAC address Active Link Port 0/5 fnC0026mp mac-address-table station-move refresh-arp configured at time of NIC teaming MAC Move Optimization e MAC Move Optimization is supported only on platform: Station-move detection takes 5000ms because this is the interval at which the detection algorithm runs. On the E-Series, you can reduce detection time to as little as 500ms using the command mac-address-table station-move threshold time-interval (though at the expense of CPU resources). threshold is the number of times a station move must be detected in a single interval in order to trigger a system log message. For example, if you configure mac-address-table station-move threshold 2 time-interval 5000, and 4 station moves occur in 5000ms, then two log messages are generated. Microsoft Clustering e Microsoft Clustering is supported only on platform: Microsoft Clustering allows multiple servers using Microsoft Windows to be represented by one MAC address and IP address in order to provide transparent failover or balancing. FTOS does not recognize server clusters by default; it must be configured to do so. Layer 2 | 595
