enable smartredundancy

enable smartredundancy port_list

Description

Enables the Smart Redundancy feature on the primary port.

Syntax Description

port_list

Specifies one or more ports or slots and ports.

Default

Enabled.

Usage Guidelines

You must configure the software-controlled redundant port using the configure ports redundant command prior to enabling Smart Redundancy.

The Smart Redundancy feature works in concert with the software-controlled redundant port feature. With Smart Redundancy enabled on the switch, when the primary port becomes active the switch redirects all traffic to the primary port and blocks the redundant port again. If you disable Smart Redundancy, the primary port is blocked because traffic is now flowing through the redundant port.

Example

The following command enables the Smart Redundancy feature on port 4 on a switch:

enable smartredundancy 4
