Configuring Flex Links and the MAC
Address-Table Move Update Feature
This chapter describes how to configure Flex Links, a pair of interfaces on the Catalyst 3750 switch that
provide a mutual backup. It also describes how to configure the MAC address-table move update feature,
also referred to as the Flex Links bidirectional fast convergence feature. Unless otherwise noted, the term
switch
refers to a standalone switch and to a switch stack.

Flex Links
Flex Links are a pair of a Layer 2 interfaces (switch ports or port channels) where one interface is
configured to act as a backup to the other. The feature provides an alternative solution to the Spanning
Tree Protocol (STP). Users can disable STP and still retain basic link redundancy. Flex Links are
typically configured in service provider or enterprise networks where customers do not want to run STP
on the switch. If the switch is running STP, Flex Links is not necessary because STP already provides
link-level redundancy or backup.
