So, we had a switch fail today. It failed in such a way that link was maintained on the ports, it just didn't pass any packets.
When this happened, the vif that I had created on our filer did not switch over to the backup link (on another switch). I initially thought it was because I hadn't set it to check to make sure that traffic was actually flowing out the interfaces. However, then I couldn't find anywhere to actually do that.
What's the deal here? Did I totally miss something? How exactly does failover work, anyway?
Thanks, Jordan
