Abstract: A first switch port receives a first control packet, a header having a source media access control (MAC) address of a first MAC of a first interface of a sending device and a payload containing a second MAC of a second interface of the same sending device. The first and second interfaces form a bonded interface for failover purposes on the sending device. A second switch port receives a second control packet, a header having the second MAC as its source MAC and a payload containing the first MAC. The switch associates the first and second MAC addresses as related MAC addresses associated with the bonded interface. The switch facilitates failover between the secure interfaces via multiple uplinks while maintaining the port security on the switch by allowing transmission of data from either the first or second MAC address, associated as related MAC addresses, without triggering a port security violation.
