Configuring Link State - Fujitsu PRIMERGY BX900 Configuration Manual

5.2

Configuring Link State

The purpose of this feature is to allow the Ethernet Connection Blade to disable the
server-blade ports when all of its uplink ports are inactive. It could improve the switching time
and realize the "rapid" failover of redundant LAN ports of server blades. This section will
describe how to configure the link state for an uplink set.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to enable link state function for an
uplink set and groups:
Command
Step 1 configure
Step 2 linkstate uplinkSetName
Step 5 exit
Step 6 show linkstate [uplinkSetName]
To enable/disable the link state feature, use linkstate/no linkstate global configuration
command. To display the link state setting, use show linkstate privileged EXEC
command.
In this example, link state function is enabled on uplink-set up1.
