Does v8.1.53 support PRP is the servers NIC hardware support PRP? What about v8.3? Thanks, Ted. ---

Ignition has no idea what this is. If it works, it's a concern at a level below Ignition. ---

I don't mean it's a concern that you should be worried about, I mean it's something that things "below" Ignition have to know about / implement. It's handled at a different layer of the stack, transparent to Ignition. ---

We use PRP with networking and Ignition, this is entirely transparent at the application level, and is all handled at the lower level (driver) before it even gets to the application. ---
