Operation
Configure a link aggregation
group as a member of the
Smart Link group
Enable the function of sending
flush messages in the specified
control VLAN

Configuring Associated Devices

An associated device mentioned in this document refers to a device that supports Smart Link and
locally configured to process flush messages received from the specified control VLAN so as to work
with the corresponding Smart Link device. As shown in
Switch D, and Switch E on the active and backup links connecting the Smart Link device (Switch A) and
the target uplink device (Switch E) are all associated devices.
However, you do not have to enable all the ports of an associated device to process flush messages
received from the specified control VLAN. You need to enable this function only on the ports that are on
the active and backup links connecting the Smart Link device and the target device. As shown in
1-2, you need to enable this function on Ethernet 1/0/2 and Ethernet 1/0/3 of Switch C, Ethernet 1/0/2
and Ethernet 1/0/3 of Switch D, and Ethernet 11/0/1 and Ethernet 1/0/12 of Switch E.

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.
