I have couple of aggregation switches I would like to exclude bunch of port-channels and allow few only, what's the best way to do that?
I was going to use the skip_port, but I have about 20 interfaces I need to skip and I was hoping there is another option. Is there a way I can exclude all and allow few with the "use_port" option? Or is there an impact if I exclude bunch of ports? I have no problem typing them, just want to make sure I am not introducing any slowness on the server.
Thank you.

I may have to provide a knob for this functionality, but try this. In your devicelist file, append this to a switch.
switch,max_macs=0,use_port=Po1,use_port=Po2
See if that works for you. If you just set the switch to max_macs=0 in the devicelist file you should be able to include all the use_port entries in your netdb.conf if you prefer. You don't want to modify the global max_macs though.
If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll add a knob to skip an entire switch and combine with use_port.
