Chapter 24 Configuring Flex Links and MAC Address-Table Move Update
Configuring Flex Links
To remove a preemption scheme, enter the
no switchport backup interface
interface-id
preemption
mode
interface configuration command. To reset the delay time to the default, enter the
no switchport backup interface
interface-id
preemption delay
interface configuration command.
This example shows how to configure preemption mode as bandwidth for a backup interface pair and to
verify the configuration:
Switch#
configure terminal
Switch(conf)#
interface gigabitethernet1/0/1
Switch(conf-if)# switchport
backup interface gigabitethernet1/2
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 interface switchport backup detail
Active Interface Backup Interface State
------------------------------------------------------------------------
GigabitEthernet1/21 GigabitEthernet1/2 Active Down/Backup Down
Interface Pair : Gi1/21, Gi1/2
Preemption Mode : forced
Preemption Delay : 50 seconds
Bandwidth : 10000 Kbit (Gi1/1), 10000 Kbit (Gi1/2)
Mac Address Move Update Vlan : auto
<output truncated>
Step 4
Switch(conf-if)#
switchport backup interface
interface-id
preemption mode
[
forced
|
bandwidth
|
off
]
Configures a preemption mechanism and delay for a Flex
Links interface pair. You can configure the preemption
mode as:
•
forced
—The active interface always preempts the
backup.
•
bandwidth
—The interface with higher bandwidth
always acts as the active interface.
•
off
—No preemption occurs from active to backup.
Step 5
Switch(conf-if)#
switchport backup interface
interface-id
preemption delay
delay-time
Configures the delay time until a port preempts another
port.
Note
Setting a delay time requires forced or bandwidth
mode.
Step 6
Switch(conf)#
end
Returns to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 7
Switch#
show interface
[
interface-id
]
switchport
backup
Verifies the configuration.
Step 8
Switch#
copy running-config startup config
(Optional) Saves your entries in the switch startup
configuration file.
