Configuring Flex Links and MAC Address-Table Move Update
Command
Step 4
switchport backup interface interface-id preemption
mode [forced | bandwidth | off]
Step 5
switchport backup interface interface-id preemption
delay delay-time
Step 6 end
Step 7
show interface [interface-id] switchport backup
Step 8 copy running-config startup config
To remove a preemption scheme, use the no switchport backup interface interface-id preemption
mode interface configuration command. To reset the delay time to the default, use the no switchport
backup interface interface-id preemption delay interface configuration command.
This example shows how to configure the preemption mode as forced for a backup interface pair and to
verify the configuration:
Switch# configure terminal
Switch(conf)# interface gigabitethernet1/0/1
Switch(conf-if)#switchport backup interface gigabitethernet1/0/2 preemption mode forced
Switch(conf-if)#switchport backup interface gigabitethernet1/0/2 preemption delay 50
Switch(conf-if)# end
Switch# show interface switchport backup detail

Chapter 21 Configuring Flex Links and the MAC Address-Table Move Update Feature
Purpose
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.
•
Configure the time delay until a port preempts another
port.
Setting a delay time only works with forced and
Note
bandwidth modes.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify the configuration.
(Optional) Save your entries in the switch startup
configuration file.
