Vlans Preferred on Backup Interface: 60, 100-120
When a Flex Link interface goes down (LINK_DOWN), VLANs preferred on this interface are moved
to the peer interface of the Flex Link pair. In this example, if Gigabit interface 6 goes down, Gigabit
interface 8 carries all VLANs of the Flex Link pair.

When a Flex Link interface comes up, VLANs preferred on this interface are blocked on the peer
interface and moved to the forwarding state on the interface that has just come up. In this example, if
Gigabit interface 6 comes up, VLANs preferred on this interface are blocked on the peer Gigabit
interface 8 and forwarded on Gigabit interface 6.
