This example shows how to configure an interface with a backup interface and to verify the
configuration:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(conf)# interface fastethernet0/1
Switch(conf-if)# no shutdown
Switch(conf-if)# switchport backup interface fastethernet0/2
Switch(conf-if)# end
Switch# show interface switchport backup

Configuring Flex Links and MAC Address-Table Move Update
Purpose
Configure a physical Layer 2 interface (or port channel)
as part of a Flex Link pair with the interface. When one
link is forwarding traffic, the other interface is in standby
mode.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify the configuration.
(Optional) Save your entries in the switch startup
configuration file.
Backup Interface
FastEthernet0/2
FastEthernet0/4
GigabitEthernet0/1
Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
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.
Enable the port, if necessary. By default, UNIs and ENIs
are disabled, and NNIs are enabled.
Configure a physical Layer 2 interface (or port channel)
as part of a Flex Link pair with the interface. When one
link is forwarding traffic, the other interface is in standby
mode.
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.
