multi-active detection (MAD)
A mechanism that manages switches during an IRF failure. MAD detects other switches in the IRF stack
that come online as masters and keeps online only the switch with the lowest master IRF ID. The others
shut down their interfaces, effectively removing them from the network, and stopping any network loops.

limits the propagation of multicast and broadcast messages. Traffic between VLANs is blocked unless the
VLANs are connected by a router, which increases security.
