Configuration note:
When the Active FCX unit in a stack comes online after being offline, it is expected behavior that for a
few seconds data packets sent to the static trunk port on this original Active unit will need to be
retransmitted. In sensitive environments, it is recommended that link-keepalive be configured on any
static trunk ports or dynamic trunk LACP be used instead of static trunk configuration.
