When you use NIC teaming, consider that the server MAC address is originally learned on Port 0/1 of the
switch (shown in the following) and Port 0/5 is the failover port. When the NIC fails, the system
automatically sends an ARP request for the gateway or host NIC to resolve the ARP and refresh the egress
interface. When the ARP is resolved, the same MAC address is learned on the same port where the ARP is
resolved (in the previous example, this location is Port 0/5 of the switch). To ensure that the MAC address
is disassociated with one port and reassociated with another port in the ARP table, the
no mac-
address-table station-move refresh-arp
command should not be configured on the Dell
Networking switch at the time that NIC teaming is being configured on the server.
NOTE: If you have configured the
no mac-address-table station-move refresh-arp
command, traffic continues to be forwarded to the failed NIC until the ARP entry on the switch
times out.

Configure Redundant Pairs
Networks that employ switches that do not support the spanning tree protocol (STP) — for example,
networks with digital subscriber line access multiplexers (DSLAM) — cannot have redundant links
between switches because they create switching loops (as shown in the following illustration). The
redundant pairs feature allows you to create redundant links in networks that do not use STP by
configuring backup interfaces for the interfaces on either side of the primary link.
NOTE: For more information about STP, refer to
Spanning Tree Protocol (STP)
.
Assign a backup interface to an interface using the
switchport backup
command. The backup
interface remains in a Down state until the primary fails, at which point it transitions to Up state. If the
primary interface fails, and later comes up, it becomes the backup interface for the redundant pair. Dell
Networking OS supports Gigabit, 10 Gigabit, and 40-Gigabit interfaces as backup interfaces.
