Usage Guidelines
This command is supported only on the LAN Base image.
Add upstream interfaces to the link-state group before adding downstream interfaces, otherwise, the downstream
interfaces move into error-disable mode. These are the limitations:
• An interface can be an upstream interface or a downstream interface.
• An interface can belong to only one link-state group.
• Only two link-state groups can be configured on a switch.
Examples
This example shows how to configure the interfaces as upstream in group 2:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(config)# interface range gigabitethernet2/0/1 -2
Switch(config-if-range)# link state group 2 upstream
Switch(config-if-range)# end
OL-29043 -01
(Optional) Specifies the number of the link-state group. The range
is 1 to 2. The default group number is 1.
Configures a interface as a downstream interface in the group.
Configures the interface as an upstream interface in the group.
