Chapter 2

Catalyst 3560 Switch Cisco IOS Commands

switchport backup interface

Use the

switchport backup interface

interface configuration command on a Layer 2 interface to

configure Flex Links, a pair of interfaces that provide backup to each other. Use the

form of this

command to remove the Flex Links configuration.

switchport backup interface

{

interface-id

}

no switchport backup

Syntax Description

Note

Though visible in the command-line help, VLAN interfaces are not supported.

Defaults

The default is to have no Flex Links defined.

Command Modes

Interface configuration

Command History

Usage Guidelines

With Flex Links configured, one link acts as the primary interface and forwards traffic, while the other

interface is in standby mode, ready to begin forwarding traffic if the primary link shuts down. The

interface being configured is referred to as the active link; the specified interface is identified as the

backup link. The feature provides an alternative to the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), allowing users to

turn off STP and still retain basic link redundancy.

•

This command is available only for Layer 2 interfaces.

•

You can configure only one Flex Link backup link for any active link, and it must be a different

interface from the active interface.

•

An interface can belong to only one Flex Link pair. An interface can be a backup link for only one

active link. An active link cannot belong to another Flex Link pair.

•

A backup link does not have to be the same type (Fast Ethernet or Gigabit Ethernet, for instance) as

the active link. However, you should configure both Flex Links with similar characteristics so that

there are no loops or changes in behavior if the standby link takes over traffic forwarding.

interface-id

Specify the Layer 2 interface to act as a backup link to the interface being

configured. The interface can be a physical interface or port channel. The

port-channel range is 1 to 48.
