7.2.2 Preparing for configurations
Scenario
When STP is disabled, by configuring interface backup, you can realize redundancy backup
and fast switching of primary/backup link, and load sharing between different interfaces.
Compared with STP, interface backup not only ensures millisecond level fast switching, also
simplifies configurations.
Prerequisite

Create VLANs.

Add interfaces to VLANs.

Disable STP.
7.2.3 Default configurations of interface backup
The default configuration of interface backup is as below.
Function
Default value
Interface backup group
None
Restore-delay
15s
Restoration mode
Interface connection mode (port-up)
7.2.4 Configuring basic functions of interface backup
Configure basic functions of interface backup for the A10E/A28E as below.
Interface backup and STP, loopback detection, Ethernet ring, or ELPS, and ERPS
may interfere with each other. Configuring both of them on an interface is not
recommended.
Step
