Configuring Associated Devices
An associated device mentioned in this document refers to a device that supports Smart Link and
locally configured to process flush messages received from the specified control VLAN so as to work
with the corresponding Smart Link device. As shown in
Figure 1-2
, all the devices including Switch C,
Switch D, and Switch E on the active and backup links connecting the Smart Link device (Switch A) and
the target uplink device (Switch E) are all associated devices.
However, you do not have to enable all the ports of an associated device to process flush messages
received from the specified control VLAN. You need to enable this function only on the ports that are on
the active and backup links connecting the Smart Link device and the target device. As shown in
Figure
1-2
, you need to enable this function on Ethernet 1/0/2 and Ethernet 1/0/3 of Switch C, Ethernet 1/0/2
and Ethernet 1/0/3 of Switch D, and Ethernet 11/0/1 and Ethernet 1/0/12 of Switch E.
