211 | Why: The code says it was obsolete when it was written in 2001. | ||
212 | tslib is a userspace library which does anything tsdev can do and | ||
213 | much more besides in userspace where this code belongs. There is no | ||
214 | longer any need for tsdev and applications should have converted to | ||
215 | use tslib by now. | ||
216 | The name "tsdev" is also extremely confusing and lots of people have | ||

284 | fail_over_mac | ||
285 | |||
286 | Specifies whether active-backup mode should set all slaves to | ||
287 | the same MAC address (the traditional behavior), or, when | ||
288 | enabled, change the bond's MAC address when changing the | ||
289 | active interface (i.e., fail over the MAC address itself). | ||
290 | |||
291 | Fail over MAC is useful for devices that cannot ever alter | ||
292 | their MAC address, or for devices that refuse incoming | ||
293 | broadcasts with their own source MAC (which interferes with | ||
294 | the ARP monitor). | ||
295 | |||
296 | The down side of fail over MAC is that every device on the | ||
297 | network must be updated via gratuitous ARP, vs. just updating | ||
298 | a switch or set of switches (which often takes place for any | ||
299 | traffic, not just ARP traffic, if the switch snoops incoming | ||
300 | traffic to update its tables) for the traditional method. If | ||
301 | the gratuitous ARP is lost, communication may be disrupted. | ||
302 | |||
303 | When fail over MAC is used in conjuction with the mii monitor, | ||
304 | devices which assert link up prior to being able to actually | ||
305 | transmit and receive are particularly susecptible to loss of | ||
306 | the gratuitous ARP, and an appropriate updelay setting may be | ||
307 | required. | ||
308 | |||
309 | A value of 0 disables fail over MAC, and is the default. A | ||
310 | value of 1 enables fail over MAC. This option is enabled | ||
311 | automatically if the first slave added cannot change its MAC | ||
312 | address. This option may be modified via sysfs only when no | ||
313 | slaves are present in the bond. | ||
314 | |||
315 | This option was added in bonding version 3.2.0. | ||
