Chapter 19 Configuring Flex Links and the MAC Address-Table Move Update Feature
Switch A does not need to wait for the MAC address-table update. The switch detects a failure on port 1
and immediately starts forwarding server traffic from port 2, the new forwarding port. This change
occurs in 100 milliseconds (ms). The PC is directly connected to switch A, and the connection status
does not change. Switch A does not need to update the PC entry in the MAC address table.
