Configuration Examples for the FlexLinks and MAC Address-Table Move Update

Whenever a host responds to the general query, the switch forwards this report on all the mrouter ports.
When you turn on this feature through the command-line port, and when a report is forwarded by the
switch on the configured GigabitEthernet1/1, it is also leaked to the backup port GigabitEthernet1/2. The
upstream router learns the groups and starts forwarding multicast data, which is dropped at the ingress
because the GigabitEthernet1/2 is blocked. When the active link, GigabitEthernet1/ 1 goes down, the
backup port, GigabitEthernet1/2, begins forwarding. You do not need to send any proxy reports because
the multicast data is already being forwarded by the upstream router. By leaking reports to the backup
port, a redundant multicast path has been set up, and the time taken for the multicast traffic convergence
is minimal.
Configuring a Backup Interface: Example
This example shows how to configure an interface with a backup interface and to verify the
configuration:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(conf)# interface gigabitethernet1/1
Switch(conf-if)# switchport backup interface gigabitethernet1/2
Switch(conf-if)# end
Switch# show interfaces switchport backup
Switch Backup Interface Pairs:
Active Interface Backup Interface State
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Vlans Preferred on Active Interface: 1-3,5-4096
Vlans Preferred on Backup Interface: 4
Configuring a Preemption Scheme: Example
This example shows how to configure the preemption mode as forced for a backup interface pair and to
verify the configuration:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(conf)# interface gigabitethernet1/1
Switch(conf-if)#switchport backup interface gigabitethernet1/2 preemption mode forced
Switch(conf-if)#switchport backup interface gigabitethernet1/2 preemption delay 50
Switch(conf-if)# end
Switch# show interfaces switchport backup detail
