Relay system, relay apparatus, and relay method

摘要

A relay system includes a first relay apparatus connected to a node through a first line and a second relay apparatus connected to the node through a second line. The first line and the second line belong to the same link aggregation group. The first relay apparatus includes a first control unit. The first control unit notifies, before relaying a received frame, the second relay apparatus of a source address included in the received frame in the absence of first relation information related to the source address in the first storage unit upon receiving the received frame via a port connected to the first line. The second relay apparatus includes a second control unit. The second control unit stores, in the second storage unit, second relation information regarding a relationship between the source address notified by the first relay apparatus and an output port connected to the second line.
