ExtremeWare XOS 11.5 Command Reference Guide
1271
configure esrp ports mode
configure esrp ports <ports> mode [host | normal]
Description
Configures the ESRP port mode for ESRP host attach.
Syntax Description
Default
The default port mode is normal.
Usage Guidelines
Ports configured as normal ports do not accept or transmit Layer 2 or Layer 3 traffic when the local
ESRP device is a slave.
Ports configured as host ports allow the network to continue operation independent of ESRP status. The
command sets the port to forward, allowing those ports directly attached to the slave’s hosts to
communicate with other hosts that are connected to the master. If you use load sharing with the ESRP
HA feature, configure the load-sharing group first and then enable Host Attach on the group.
A Layer 2 connection for VLANs between ESRP switches is required.
An ESRP Host Attach port cannot be a mirroring port, software-controlled redundant port, or Netlogin
port.
Example
The following command configures ports 1 through 5 on slot 3 as host ports:
configure esrp port 3:1-3:5 mode host
