ESX-K Series Modules and Optimized Ports

Kodiak-based modules will flood packets with unknown destination addresses on ports

configured for optimized device mode. To prevent this condition, the following command can

be entered into the

If the port is set to optimized and has not learned a MAC address, it will flood these packets

out regardless if the above condition is used. If the above flag is set, the port will not flood

multicast packets.

Port Partitioning

Ethernet10BaseT, 10/100BaseT and 100BaseF boards can detect certain cabling errors and/or

physical media misconfigurations which could lead to multiple retries or reception of multi-

ple spurious frames, affecting performance of attached devices. In this event, the system will

partition the affected port, which will be marked in the

tional status. (See Chapter 19, "Managing Groups and Ports," for information about the

command.) If a cable drop is detected, the system will remove the partitioned state, bringing

the port back into a normal state once the link is detected.

If the original cabling problem has not been corrected, the link may become partitioned

again. In this event, normal operation will be enabled when the problem has been corrected.
