MAC Address Station Move

When you use NIC teaming, consider that the server MAC address is originally learned on Port 0/1 of the

switch (see figure below). If the NIC fails, the same MAC address is learned on Port 0/5 of the switch. The

MAC address is disassociated with one port and re-associated with another in the ARP table; in other

words, the ARP entry is “moved”. The Aggregator is auto-configured to support MAC Address station

moves.
