Monitor Link configuration example

Network requirements
As shown in
Device C is a smart link device, and Device A, Device B, and Device D are associated devices.
•
Traffic of VLANs 1 through 30 on Device C is dual-uplinked to Device A through a smart link
group.
Implement dual uplink backup on Device C, and make sure that when the link between Device A
•
and Device B (or Device D) fails, Device C can sense the link fault and perform uplink switchover in
the smart link group.
For more information about Smart Link, see the chapter "Smart Link configuration."
