How long exactly is that "momentary network outage"?
If it's longer than a few (1-5) seconds it may be due to
RSTP or STP enabled on the switch.
You could try disabling STP on these ports and see if it will
start forwarding traffic faster.

We're using the lag driver to provide automatic failover in case of
a network outage. The default configuration looks like this:
lagg0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0
mtu 1500
options=19b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4>
ether 00:a0:d1:e3:58:26
inet 192.168.17.40 netmask 0xfffff000 broadcast 192.168.31.255
inet 192.168.22.11 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.22.255
media: Ethernet autoselect
status: active
laggproto failover
laggport: nfe1 flags=0<>
laggport: nfe0 flags=5<MASTER,ACTIVE>
If nfe0 was to fail, we get an (almost) automatic failover to nfe1:
lagg0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0
mtu 1500
options=19b<RXCSUM,TXCSUM,VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4>
ether 00:a0:d1:e3:58:26
inet 192.168.17.40 netmask 0xfffff000 broadcast 192.168.31.255
inet 192.168.22.11 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.22.255
media: Ethernet autoselect
status: active
laggproto failover
laggport: nfe1 flags=4<ACTIVE>
laggport: nfe0 flags=1<MASTER>
The problem we're having is when nfe0 comes online again, a failback
occurs making nfe0 active again. This causes a momentary network
outage that we want to prevent. Is there a way to configure the lagg
device to stay with the currently active interface, even if the
MASTER interface comes back online?
