# crossconnect ports of the VRRP Backup. The
block_crossconnect mode is
# meant as a replacement for STP, however, the switches
connected to the
# crossconnect ports must be Ethernet Switch switches running
Surviving Partner.
#
# The RAINlink_xmit_on_failover mode requires that the OpenNode
blades
# connected to RAINlink ports transmit a packet when failing
over, so that
# The Layer 2 tables will learn the new port/MACaddress
relationship. An
# example is the SNAP_BCAST_MODE in RAINlink or a gratuitous
ARP.
vrrp_mode: RAINlink_xmit_on_failover;
#vrrp_mode: block_crossconnect;
# failover modes
# switch-failover, VLAN-failover or port-failover are mutually
exlusive. They
# describe what occurs if a port fails. For switch-failover,
if any port
# fails, all functionality of the current switch is moved to
the
backup
# For vlan-failover, if a port fails in the vlan then all the
ports that
# are a member of that VLAN are failed over. For port-
failover, each port
# can failover independently. For vlan and port failover the
# interconnect will need to be used to maintain connectivity,
requiring
# all VLANs to include the interconnect ports.
