Hey WLB,
That's good info. Thanks for the reply.
On a tangent, we actually have some improvements coming in 11.6 for the 2000 and 4000 series platforms:
- STP (Spanning tree Protocol) which prevents L2 loops
- LLDP (Link Layer Discovery Protocol) which enables the use of standard management tools to make physical topology information available
- ARL (Address Resolution Table) which supports better troubleshooting with forwarding database and ARL table lookups.
- tmsh show net fdb now shows meaningful data.
- Full support for Link Down on failover feature which supports faster failover when interconnecting with legacy switches.
Note: Port mirroring is still not currently supported on these two platforms. Please contact your F5 SE if this is a feature you'd like to see F5 potentially provide in a future release
Look for the 11.6 release soon.
Thanks, Aaron
