i wonder if its really possible to do the initial setup of the ethernet failover without interruption. i have never done this, but i would expect the interfaces themselves will become unavailable for direct use and you get a completely fresh virtual ethernet interface which represents whatever physical interface is currently active... at least this is what happens when you add an ethernet interface to a bridge in linux...
