Opened: Mar 15, 2021 Severity: 3-Major
In a chassis, when the switch needs to forward a packet where the destination MAC address does not exist in the L2 forwarding table (DLF, destination lookup failure), the packet is forwarded to blade one and flooded there. This can lead to interfaces on blade one being more heavily used.
It may lead to an out of bandwidth condition on interfaces.
Altering of trunk vlan memberships after failovers will lead to traffic imbalance on egress ports.
