SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR REDUCING INFORMATION LOSS IN AN AGGREGATED INFORMATION HANDLING SYSTEM

摘要

An information handling system is provided. The information handling system includes at least one server, that includes a plurality of ports, wherein information is transmitted to and from the at least one server on the plurality of ports, and a memory storing a table, the table storing a status indication and port on which the status indication was received. The information handling system also includes a plurality of switches coupled to the at least one server to form a link aggregation group (LAG), the plurality of switches transmitting information including the status indication to the at least one server. If the server receives more than one status indication having a master status, the at least one server is configured to stop forwarding information on at least one port on which information including a master status indication has been received after previously receiving information that did not include a master status indication.
