The switch also includes a switch identifier extraction module that extracts a switch identifier from a payload of the keepalive response packet, where the switch identifier corresponds to another member switch in the fabric switch. The switch further includes a forwarding module that constructs a packet that includes the payload and is destined to the other member switch.
