The flip side of that is that converting a stand-alone interface to a LAG changes MAC address on Linux, while it doesn't on most other things like routers and switches. Replacing a NIC is a more uncommon event IMHO, which already would be disruptive to things that care about the MAC in a non-LAG setup. I don't care strongly either way myself; I've started copying the MAC manually when I set up a LAG, but it would be nice to drop that step. -- Chris Adams <li...@cmadams.net> _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
