Subject: [PATCH net-next] bonding: report duplicate MAC address in all situations
Date: Wed, 19 Feb 2025 07:55:15 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250219075515.1505887-1-liuhangbin@gmail.com> (raw)
Normally, a bond uses the MAC address of the first added slave as the
bond’s MAC address. And the bond will set active slave’s MAC address to
bond’s address if fail_over_mac is set to none (0) or follow (2).
When the first slave is removed, the bond will still use the removed
slave’s MAC address, which can lead to a duplicate MAC address and
potentially cause issues with the switch. To avoid confusion, let's warn
the user in all situations, including when fail_over_mac is set to 2 or
in active-backup mode.
