Configuring Layer 2 Trunk Failover
The link state of the downstream interfaces depend on the link state of the upstream interfaces in the
associated link-state group. If all of the upstream interfaces in a link-state group are in a link-down state,
then the associated downstream interfaces are forced into a link-down state. If any one of the upstream
interfaces in the link-state group is in a link-up state, the associated downstream interfaces are allowed
to change to, or remain in, a link-up state.
In Figure 24-4, downstream interfaces 1, 2, and 3 are in link-state group 1 with upstream interfaces 17
and 18. Similarly, downstream interfaces 4, 5, and 6 are in link-state group 2 with upstream interfaces
19 and 20.
If link is lost on upstream interface 17, the link state of downstream interfaces 1 to 3 do not change. If
upstream interface 18 also loses link, downstream interfaces 1 to 3 go into a link-down state.
Downstream interfaces 4 to 6 do not change state.
You can recover a downstream interface link-down condition by removing the failed downstream port
from the link-state group. You can also enable one of the upstream interfaces in the group to change to
the link-up state. To recover multiple downstream interfaces, disable the link-state group.

Default Layer 2 Trunk Failover Configuration

There are no link-state groups defined, and trunk failover is not ena bled for any group.
