Configuring Backup Port
This section will describe how to configure backup port of uplink set.
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to set a port to be the backup port:
Command
Step 1
configure
Step 2
interface interface-id
Step 3
port-backup
Step 4
exit
Step 5
exit
Step 6
show port-backup [uplinkSetName]
To set a port to be the backup port, use port-backup interface configuration command. To
display the port backup, use show port-backup privileged EXEC command.
In this example, uplink-set up1 is created and interfaces 0/41 and 0/42 are the members of
uplink set up1. Try to set interface 0/42 to be the backup port of the uplink set up1.
(BX900-CB1)#configure
(BX900-CB1)(Config)#interface 0/42
(BX900-CB1)(Interface BX900-CB1/0/42)#port-backup
(BX900-CB1)(Interface BX900-CB1/0/41)#interface 0/42
(BX900-CB1)(Interface BX900-CB1/0/42)#exit
(BX900-CB1)(Config)#exit
(BX900-CB1)#show port-backup up1
