NE2552E Application Guide for ENOS 8.4
While configuring a failover trigger, you cannot use the member command for a
physical port that has vPorts configured. Instead, you must use the vmember
command to add the vPorts as members of a failover trigger. The following
example includes the commands to configure a failover trigger using a physical
port INTA8 (UFP not enabled) and vPorts INTA9.1, INTA10.2 and INTA11.3
configured on UFP‐enabled physical ports INTA9, INTA10 and INTA11.
See "Example 1: Access Mode" on page
mode. Follow the steps below for configuring the failover trigger:
NE2552E(config)# failover enable
NE2552E(config)# failover trigger 1 mmon monitor member EXT1
NE2552E(config)# failover trigger 1 mmon control member INTA8
NE2552E(config)# failover trigger 1 mmon control vmember INTA9.1,
INTA10.2,INTA11.3
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:
NE2552E(config)# failover trigger 1 ena
Failover Error: trigger 1 physical port INTA9 has virtual ports.
NE2552E(config)# failover trigger 1 enable
