I think you need to reword that, because at least I went "err what" -
especially the second sentence!

Ok.

Hmm. I think this is trying to say:

"When multiple CPU ports are being used, trapped frames from user ports
not affine to the first CPU port will be dropped we do not set these
ports as being affine to the second CPU port."

Erm, hang on. The previous bit indicated there was a problem when there
are multiple CPU ports, but here you're saying that only one switch is
affected - and that switch has only one CPU port. This at the very least
raises eyebrows, because it's just contradicted the first part
explaining when there's a problem.

Please reword the second sentence.
