-failover

Mark the logical interface as a non-failover interface.

Addresses assigned to non-failover logical interfaces
will not failover when the interface fails. Status
display shows NOFAILOVER as part of flags.

failover

Mark the logical interface as a failover interface. An

address assigned to such an interface will failover when
the interface fails. Status display does not show
NOFAILOVER as part of flags.

I'll try to explain how to link based IPMP is working.

A link based IPMP means the failure detection and repair method used by the mpathd daemon
differentiates the IPMP as probe based or link based.
In case of link based IPMP:
- The mpathd daemon uses the interface kernel driver to check the status of the interface.
- mpathd daemon observes the changes to IFF_RUNNING flag on the interface to determine
failure.
- One of the advantage of link based IPMP is it does not depend on external sources to send
ICMP reply to ensure the link status and it also saves IP addresses as it is not require any test
addresses for failure detection

How the IPMP will probe using the link-based mode?

- mpathd daemon is responsible to detect an interface failure . It uses a configuration file
/etc/default/mpathd to set various IPMP parameters.

The important parameters in mpathd configuration file are :

1. FAILURE_DETECTION_TIME : Time taken by mpathd to detect a NIC failure in ms (default
value – 10 seconds)
2. FAILBACK : To enable or disable fail-back after the failed link becomes available (default
value – yes)
3. TRACK_INTERFACES_ONLY_WITH_GROUPS – If turned on interfaces configured as part of
IPMP are only monitored (default value – yes)

Looking at your configuration we see that you have the default configuration.

#
#pragma ident "@(#)mpathd.dfl 1.2 00/07/17 SMI"
#
# Time taken by mpathd to detect a NIC failure in ms. The minimum time
# that can be specified is 100 ms.
#
FAILURE_DETECTION_TIME=10000
#
# Failback is enabled by default. To disable failback turn off this option
#
FAILBACK=yes
#
# By default only interfaces configured as part of multipathing groups
# are tracked. Turn off this option to track all network interfaces
# on the system

TRACK_INTERFACES_ONLY_WITH_GROUPS=yes
