Description

|
===========
|
|
|
|
**linux-i40e** sets all recommended options for the Linux i40e device driver.
|
|
|
|
Recommended options
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
| **Enabling disable-fw-lldp**
|
|
| Many Intel network cards such as the X700 Series drop LLDP pakets by default.
|
|
| When using LACP (802.1ad) this has the effect that after a reboot of one switch,
|
|
| the bond interfaces do not recover. Disabling the firewalling of LLDP pakets on
|
|
| the network card allows the operating system (= Linux kernel) to actually recieve
|
|
| the pakets and re-establish the bonded connection.
|
|
|
|
| **Enabling link-down-on-close**
|
|
| Many Intel network cards such as the X700 Series do not take down the link
|
|
| when the corresponding interface is deconfigured. This is in contrast to the
|
|
| consumer (Intel) network cards that usually do this. Therefore, without enabling
|
|
| the link-down-on-close, most assumptions of HA stacks (e.g. pacemaker/corosync)
|
|
| are not met and can lead to various unwanted effects. Enabling this options
|
|
| restores the usual behaviour.
