bundle maximum-active links
To designate one active link and one link in standby mode that can take over immediately for a bundle if the
active link fails, use the bundle maximum-active links command in interface configuration mode. To return
to the default maximum active links value, use the no form of this command.

Usage Guidelines
To use this command, you must be in a user group associated with a task group that includes appropriate task
IDs. If the user group assignment is preventing you from using a command, contact your AAA administrator
for assistance.
The bundle maximum-active links command is supported only for bundles that are not running LACP.
•
Running Link Aggregation Control Protocol (LACP), and the hot-standby option is implemented.
•
Not running LACP.
If the bundle maximum-active links command is issued, then only the highest-priority link within the bundle
is active . The priority is based on the value from the bundle port-priority command, where a lower value
is a higher priority. Therefore, we recommend that you configure a higher priority on the link that you want
to be the active link.
•
Another Cisco IOS XR device using the same option.
•
Another device using an IEEE standard-based switchover. (Cisco does not recommend using this option
because unexpected behavior, such as the peer sending traffic on the standby link, can occur.)
