Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Examples included in this disclosure provide, among other things, the receipt of data intended for a destination at a switch of a switch module. In response to the receipt of data, the switch module may determine whether a local port on the switch is a member of a link aggregation group that includes the egress port on second switch. In response to such a determination, the switch module may update the forwarding table of the switch to indicate the local port is an egress port for the destination.
