IMPORTANT!
If both link partners have the LFI feature, it
must not
be enabled on both sides of the link. If it is
enabled on both sides, the link will never be established, as each link partner will be waiting for the
other to transmit a link signal.
The switch can also be configured to flush the MAC address table for the controller port. Frames destined for the
controller will be flooded to Switch B where they will be forwarded to the controller (after the controller transmits
its first frame).
