11.3.26 Managing Port-Backup

11.3.26.1 Configuring Port-Backup Configuration

Two ports are associated for one group. Two ports are acted as active and backup ports. One of two
ports will be active at a one time. As configured active port is linkup, the backup port will be disabled.
Otherwise, if configured active port is link down, the configured backup port will be enabled. The
configured active has higher priority to become 'active', as two ports of a group are all link up before
group is enabled.

Selection Criteria

Admin Mode - Choose the port-backup administrative mode for the switch by selecting enable or
disable from the pull-down menu. The factory default is disabled.

Group ID - You can use this screen to reconfigure an existing group or to create a new one. Use this
pull-down menu to select one of the existing groups or select 'Create' to add a new one.
