4922593: Link Messages Seem to Contradict IPMP State During aSwitch Reset
If you have IPMP configured on a blade and you reset the chassis’s integrated
switch, you will see an error message that appears to contradict the IPMP
configuration of the blade. The console output during the resetwill possibly display
several link up messages while the switch is physically in the process of resetting
(see below). There will be no corresponding linkdown messages. This behavior is a
result of the way the bge driver negotiates with the switches. It has no negative
impact on network connectivity or on the operation of IPMP.When the switch reset
completes, the link status will be correct and IPMP will be functioning correctly.
