1.2.4 Precautions

When configuring Smart Link, pay attention to the following points:
1) A port or a link aggregation group cannot serve as a member port for two smart
link groups. On the other hand, a port or a link aggregation group cannot serve as
a member for a smart link group and a monitor link group at the same time.
2) STP cannot be enabled on the member ports of a smart link group. An
STP-enabled port or a link aggregation group with an STP-enabled port cannot
serve as a member port for a smart link group.
3) A smart link/monitor link group with members cannot be deleted.
4) Smart Link/Monitor Link is mutually exclusive with remote port mirroring.
5) If you configure both the Smart Link and Monitor Link functions on an Intelligent
Resilient Fabric (IRF) enabled device, the Smart Link and Monitor Link functions
will function abnormally. Thus, you are recommended to disable the IRF function
when configuring the Smart Link or Monitor Link function.
6) When a Combo port operates as a member port of a smart link group, the optical
port and the electrical port of the Combo port must not be both engaged with a
cable at the same time.
7) When you copy a port, the smart link/monitor link group member information
configured on the port will not be copied to other ports.
8) If a single port is specified as a member of a smart link/monitor link group, you
cannot execute the lacp enable command on this port or add this port into other
dynamic link aggregation groups, because these operations will make this port
become a link aggregation group member.
