1.6.1 Example for Configuring Interface Backup in Active/Standby
Mode to Implement Ethernet Link Backup
This section provides an example for configuring interface backup in active/standby mode. If
the primary interface is faulty, the backup interface is started to transmit services.
Networking Requirements
, RouterA is connected to RouterB.
Multiple interfaces on RouterA back up each other:
l
GE2/0/0 functions as the primary interface.
l
GE1/0/0 and GE3/0/0 function as backup interfaces.
l
GE1/0/0 has a higher priority.

Configuration Roadmap
The configuration roadmap is as follows:
1.
Configure GE2/0/0 on RouterA as the primary interface to transmit all the services.
2.
Configure GE1/0/0 and GigabitEthernet3/0/0 as backup interfaces of GE2/0/0 and set a
higher priority for GE1/0/0.
3.
Set the switchover delay.
