address-table move update VLAN is the lowest VLAN ID
on the interface.
Configure a physical Layer 2 interface (or port channel)
and specify the VLAN ID on the interface, which is used
for sending the MAC address-table move update.
When one link is forwarding traffic, the other interface is
in standby mode.
Step 4
end
Return to global configuration mode.
Step 5
mac address-table move update transmit
Enable the access switch to send MAC address-table
move updates to other switches in the network if the
primary link goes down and the switch starts forwarding
traffic through the standby link.
Step 6
end
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Step 7
show mac address-table move update
Verify the configuration.
