Chapter 22 Configuring Flex Links and the MAC Address-Table Move Update Feature
Configuring Flex Links and the MAC Address-Table Move Update
To remove a preemption scheme, use the
no switchport backup interface
interface-id
preemption
mode
interface configuration command. To reset the delay time to the default, use the
no switchport
backup interface
interface-id
preemption delay
interface configuration command.
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#

Active Interface Backup Interface State
------------------------------------------------------------------------
GigabitEthernet1/1 GigabitEthernet1/2 Active Up/Backup Standby
Interface Pair : Gi1/1, Gi1/2
Preemption Mode : forced
Preemption Delay : 50 seconds
Bandwidth : 100000 Kbit (Gi1/1), 100000 Kbit (Gi1/2)
Mac Address Move Update Vlan : auto
Step 3
switchport backup interface
interface-id
Configure a physical Layer 2 interface (or port channel)
as part of a Flex Links pair with the interface. When one
link is forwarding traffic, the other interface is in standby
mode.

Configure a preemption mechanism and delay for a Flex
Link 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.

delay-time
Configure the time delay until a port preempts another
port.
Note
Setting a delay time only works with forced and
bandwidth modes.
