Systems and methods for reducing information loss in an aggregated information handling system

A method comprising:

• receiving, by a network device, a first status indication on a first port of a plurality of ports coupling the network device to a plurality of switches in a stacked switch configuration, a first switch of the plurality of switches being directly coupled to the network device using the first port, the plurality of ports being configured to form a link aggregation group (LAG);
• receiving, by the network device, a second status indication on the first port;
• and
• stopping, by the network device, forwarding of information on the first port when the first status indication includes a master status indication for the first switch and the second status indication includes a slave status indication for the first switch.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having instructions for execution by one or more processors associated with a network device that, when executed, cause the network device to perform a method comprising:

• receiving a first status indication on a first port of a plurality of ports coupling the network device to a plurality of switches in a stacked switch configuration, a first switch of the plurality of switches being directly coupled to the network device using the first port, the plurality of ports being configured to form a link aggregation group (LAG);
• receiving, by the network device, a second status indication on the first port;
• and
• stopping forwarding of information on the first port when the first status indication includes a master status indication for the first switch and the second status indication includes a slave status indication for the first switch.
