Configuring Flex Links and the MAC Address-Table Move Update
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, t he 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.
