Hi Vijay, I don't know if anyone responded to you on this but I am very curious to know myself as well... Personally, I haven't used trunk(4) too much yet so I might not be of much help. My guess would be either something with the rules (with regards to keeping state or finding a way to sync the states) unless that 30 seconds is normal??? But to me that seems odd to have that long of a disruption, 30 seconds, ouch. The other option you said was to delay it 30-45 seconds. For that, then I would personally think that ifstated would or could do the trick, but maybe someone else can give better feedback than me on this whole issue? Also, could it be caused by something with the switches layer 2 cache timeout period or something to that effect? Just a thought. Regards, Richard
