How to Configure the FlexLinks and MAC Address-Table Move Update
Configuring a Preemption Scheme for FlexLinksConfiguring VLAN Load Balancing on FlexLinks
Step 3 switchport backup interface interface-id Configures a physical Layer 2 interface (or port channel)
as part of a FlexLinks pair with the interface. When one
link is forwarding traffic, the other interface is in standby
mode.
Step 4 end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2 interface interface-id Specifies the interface, and enter interface configuration
mode. The interface can be a physical Layer 2 interface or
a port channel (logical interface). The port-channel range
is 1 to 6.
Step 3 switchport backup interface interface-id Configures a physical Layer 2 interface (or port channel)
as part of a FlexLinks pair with the interface. When one
link is forwarding traffic, the other interface is in standby
mode.
Step 4 switchport backup interface interface-id preemption
mode [forced | bandwidth | off]
Configures a preemption mechanism and delay for a
FlexLinks interface pair. You can configure the
preemption as:
forced—The active interface always preempts the
backup.
bandwidth—The interface with the higher
bandwidth always acts as the active interface.
off—No preemption happens from active to backup.
Step 5 switchport backup interface interface-id preemption
delay delay-time
Configures the time delay until a port preempts another
port.
Note Setting a delay time only works with forced and
bandwidth modes.
Step 6 end Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Command Purpose
Step 1 configure terminal Enters global configuration mode.
Step 2 interface interface-id Specifies the interface, and enters interface configuration
mode. The interface can be a physical Layer 2 interface or
a port channel (logical interface). The port-channel range
is 1 to 6.
