This is not always > correct, as vlans may change their mac address. > This patch introduced a concept of strict matching where the > source of learning packets can either strictly match the address > passed in, or it can determine a more correct address to use. > > There are 3 casese to consider: > 1) Switchover. In this case, we have a new active slave and we need > tell the switch about all addresses available on the slave. > 2) Monitor. We'll periodically refresh learning info for all slaves. > In this case, we refresh all addresses for current active, and just > the slave address for other slaves. > 3) Teaching of disabled adddress.
