Configuring Flex Links and MAC Address-Table Move Update
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 gigabitethernet0/1
Switch(conf-if)#
switchport backup interface gigabitethernet0/2 preemption mode forced
Switch(conf-if)#
switchport backup interface gigabitethernet0/2 preemption delay 50
Switch(conf-if)#
end
Switch#
show interface switchport backup detail

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.

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

Specify the interface, and enter interface configuration
mode. The interface can be a physical Layer 2 interface or
a port channel (logical interface). The port-channel range
is 1 to 48.
