This command configures the IP address for alternate health check mechanism.
| mlag | Multi-switch Link Aggregation used to combine remote ports and local ports to a common logical connection. |
| peer | Multi-switch Link Aggregation Group peer switch. |
| peer_name | Alphanumeric string identifying the MLAG peer. |
| alternate | Health check on an alternate path. |
| ipaddress | MLAG peer IP address for alternate path health checks. |
| vr | Virtual router. |
| vr_name | Virtual router name. |
| none | Do not use alternate path health checks. |
None.
Use this command to configure the IP address for alternate health check mechanism. Use the none option to unconfigure the configured IP.
The following example displays show mlag peer output with the alternate path IP configured:
