mac_address
(added in 2.6) |
|
Specifies the floating Media Access Control (MAC) address associated with the floating IP addresses defined for a traffic group.
Primarily, a MAC masquerade address minimizes ARP communications or dropped packets as a result of failover.
A MAC masquerade address ensures that any traffic destined for a specific traffic group reaches an available device after failover, which happens because along with the traffic group, the MAC masquerade address floats to the available device.
Without a MAC masquerade address, the sending host must learn the MAC address for a newly-active device, either by sending an ARP request or by relying on the gratuitous ARP from the newly-active device.
To unset the MAC address, specify an empty value ("" ) to this parameter.
