Mac Move Optimization; Microsoft Clustering - Dell Force10 S4810P Configuration Manual

(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
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.

MAC Move Optimization

MAC Move Optimization
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
station-move threshold time-interval
is the number of times a station move must be detected in a single interval in order to trigger a
threshold
system log message. For example, if you configure
, and 4 station moves occur in 5000ms, then two log messages are generated.

Microsoft Clustering

Microsoft Clustering
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.
