switch stack or on a standalone switch to configure Flex Links, a pair of interfaces that provide backup to
each other.
Use the no form of this command to remove the Flex Links configuration.
switchport backup interface [FastEthernet interface-name | GigabitEthernet interface-name |
Port-channel interface-name | TenGigabitEthernet interface-name ] {mmu primary vlan
interface-name | multicast fast-convergence | preemption {delay interface-name | mode} |
prefer vlan name}
no switchport backup interface [FastEthernet interface-name | GigabitEthernet interface-name
| Port-channel interface-name | TenGigabitEthernet interface-name ] {mmu primary vlan
interface-name | multicast fast-convergence | preemption {delay interface-name | mode} |
prefer vlan name}
Syntax Description
Defaults The default is to have no Flex Links defined. The preemption mode is off. No preemption occurs.
