Configuring a Link Dependency Groups

The commands in this example create two link dependency groups. Group 1

has port 3 as a member port that is dependent on port 4. The group uses the

default link action, which is down. This means that if port 4 goes down, port 3

goes down. When port 4 returns to the up state, port 3 is brought back up. In

Group 2, port 6 dependent on port-channel (LAG) 1, and the link action is

up. If port-channel 1 goes down, port 6 is brought up. This also means that

when port-channel 1 is up, port 6 is down.

To configure the switch:

1 Enter the configuration mode for Group 1.

console#configure

console(config)#link-dependency group 1

2 Configure the member and dependency information for the group.

console(config-linkDep-group-1)#add

gigabitethernet 1/0/3

console(config-linkDep-group-1)#depends-on

gigabitethernet 1/0/4

console(config-linkDep-group-1)#exit
