show interfaces
This is an example of output from the show interfaces switchport backup command:
Switch# show interfaces switchport backup
Switch Backup Interface Pairs:
Active Interface Backup Interface State
--------------------------------------------------------------
Gi1/0/1 Gi1/0/2 Active Up/Backup Standby
Gi3/0/3 Gi4/0/5 Active Down/Backup Up
Po1 Po2 Active Standby/Backup Up
This is an example of output from the show interfaces interface-id pruning command:
Switch# show interfaces gigibitethernet1/0/2 pruning
Port Vlans pruned for lack of request by neighbor
This is an example of output from the show interfaces switchport backup command. In this example,
VLANs 1 to 50, 60, and 100 to 120 are configured on the switch:
Switch(config)# interface gigabitethernet 2/0/6
Switch(config-if)# switchport backup interface gigabitethernet 2/0/8 prefer vlan
60,100-120
When both interfaces are up, Gi2/0/8 forwards traffic for VLANs 60, 100 to 120, and Gi2/0/6 will
forward traffic for VLANs 1 to 50.

Switch Backup Interface Pairs:

------------------------------------------------------------------------
GigabitEthernet2/0/6 GigabitEthernet2/0/8 Active Up/Backup Up
Vlans on Interface Gi 2/0/6: 1-50
Vlans on Interface Gi 2/0/8: 60, 100-120
When a Flex Link interface goes down (LINK_DOWN), VLANs preferred on this interface are moved
to the peer interface of the Flex Link pair. In this example, if interface Gi2/0/6 goes down, Gi2/0/8 carries
all VLANs of the Flex Link pair.

Vlans on Interface Gi 2/0/6:
Vlans on Interface Gi 2/0/8: 1-50, 60, 100-120
When a Flex Link interface comes up, VLANs preferred on this interface are blocked on the peer
interface and moved to the forwarding state on the interface that has just come up. In this example, if
interface Gi2/0/6 comes up, then VLANs preferred on this interface are blocked on the peer interface
Gi2/0/8 and forwarded on Gi2/0/6.
