Commands for Configuring Slots and Ports on a Switch
• Only one side of the link should be configured as redundant. For example, if ports 1 and 2 are
connected between switches A and B, only switch A should be configured with redundant ports.
• Software redundant ports are not supported on 1000BASE-T ports.
Software redundant port only cover failures where both the TX and RX paths fail. If a single strand of
fiber is pulled, the software redundant port cannot correctly recover from the failure.
Example
The following command configures a software-controlled redundant port on a stand-alone switch:
config ports 3 redundant 4
The following command configures a software-controlled redundant port on a modular switch:
config ports 1:3 redundant 2:3
The following command configures a software-controlled redundant port using the port display strings
corp1 and corp5 to identify the ports:
config ports corp1 redundant corp5
