# Set the backup group priority value of switch D to 100.
[Quidway D-vlan-interface1] vrrp vrid 1 priority 100
2.4 Implementations in VLAN Interface Backup
Interface backup is a function used to back up VLAN interfaces by using the auto detect
function. For two VLAN interfaces configured with the same destination device, you can
configure one of them to the secondary interface, which is enabled automatically when
the primary one fails, so as to ensure the connectivity. Auto detect is implemented as
follows:
z In normal situations, that is, the result of the detecting group is reachable, the
secondary VLAN interface is down and data is transmitted through the primary
VLAN interface.
z When the link between the primary VLAN interface and the destination operates
improperly, that is, the result of the detecting group is unreachable, the system
shuts down the primary VLAN interface and enables the secondary VLAN
interface.
