1. Enable failover globally:
2. Configure trigger 1 and add monitor and control ports:
3. Enable failover trigger:
Updating from Lenovo Networking OS 7.7 or Prior
1. Delete the trigger (CN4093(config)# no failover trigger x).
2. Reconfigure the trigger using the appropriate commands. For the UFP‐enabled
3. Enable the trigger (CN4093(config)# failover trigger x enable).
1. Remove the UFP‐enabled port from the trigger
2. Add the vPorts as members of the failover trigger

CN4093 Application Guide for N/OS 8.2
CN4093(config)# failover enable
CN4093(config)# failover trigger 1 mmon monitor member EXT1
CN4093(config)# failover trigger 1 mmon control member INTA8
CN4093(config)# failover trigger 1 mmon control vmember
Note: If you try to add a physical port (that has vPorts configured) as a
member of a trigger, you may see the following error message when you
enable the trigger:
CN4093(config)#failover trigger 1 ena
Failover Error: trigger 1 physical port INTA9 has
virtual ports.
CN4093(config)# failover trigger 1 enable
Beginning with N/OS 7.8, physical ports that have UFP enabled cannot be
members of a failover trigger; only the vPorts can be members of a failover trigger.
In a previous configuration (N/OS 7.7 or prior), If you had UFP‐enabled ports as
members of a failover trigger, the trigger will not work as expected after you
update the switch software version to N/OS 7.8 or later.You may also experience
other issues, such as not being able to shutdown or restart the UFP‐enabled ports.
To overcome this issue, do the following:
port, add the vPorts as members of the failover trigger
(CN4093(config)# failover trigger x mmon control vmember
<vPorts list separated by comma>). See Step 2 on page
OR
(CN4093(config)# no failover trigger x mmon control member
<UFP‐enabled port number>).
(CN4093(config)# failover trigger x mmon control vmember
<vPorts list separated by comma>).
