Currently, That's a very important part for me. I were told that using
either VRRP or ethernet
bonding, I will get one single virtual mac address. So in both case, server
or firewalls won't need
to update their arp table because the matching virtual mac -> ip adress will
stay valid.
Therefore, the question would be : what is going to happen in order to
update automatically the mac table
on switches ?
Another question :
If I don't use arp options, my ethernet bonding will only be carrier sense,
no ? If I want it to
test the complete path to the firewalls and switch to the other interface if
the path faill, I should
use those options, correct ?
