Switch module

摘要

Examples included in this disclosure provide, among other things, the receipt of data intended for a destination at a switch of a switch module. In response to the receipt of data, the switch module may determine whether a local port on the switch is a member of a link aggregation group that includes the egress port on second switch. In response to such a determination, the switch module may update the forwarding table of the switch to indicate the local port is an egress port for the destination.

主权项

1. A method, comprising:
receiving, via a first switch of a switch module, data intended for a destination, wherein a forwarding table of the first switch indicates a port of a second switch as an egress port for the destination; determining, via a switch manager of the switch module, that a port of the first switch is a member of a link aggregation group that includes the port of the second switch; and updating, via the switch manager of the switch module, the forwarding table of the first switch to remove indication of the port of the second switch as the egress port and instead indicate the port of the first switch as the egress port for the destination such that the updated forwarding table of the first switch is different than a forwarding table of the second switch with respect to the egress port for the destination to reduce latency of the switch module, wherein the forwarding table of the second switch indicates the port of the second switch as the egress port and does not indicate the port of the first switch as the egress port.
