Satellite Interface Configuration
The Satellite interface can be used as any other regular Gigabit Ethernet interfaces:
interface GigabitEthernet200/0/0/0
l2transport
!
!
interface GigabitEthernet200/0/0/0
ip address 99.0.0.1 255.255.255.0
!
!
interface GigabitEthernet200/0/0/2
bundle id 100 mode active
!
!
This is a sample satellite interface configuration in the case of a dual home topology on
the active and standby hosts:
Active host:
interface GigabitEthernet100/0/0/32
ipv4 address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
!
Active Host
interface GigabitEthernet100/0/0/32
ipv4 address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
!
Standby Host
interface GigabitEthernet100/0/0/32
ipv4 address 1.1.1.1 255.255.255.0
!
For an L3 interface, the IPv4 protocol states in the output of show ipv4 interface brief command show as up;
up on the active host and up; down on the standby host.
Active host:
GigabitEthernet100/0/0/32 1.1.1.1 Up Up
Standby host:
GigabitEthernet100/0/0/32 1.1.1.1 Up Down
For an L2 interface, the ports show as up on both the hosts.
Active host:
GigabitEthernet100/0/0/33 unassigned Up Up
Standby host:
GigabitEthernet100/0/0/33 unassigned Up Up
You cannot add the satellite interface to the same bundle as the physical ICL link.Note
