Configuring an associated device Configuration prerequisites Disable the spanning tree feature on the associated device's ports that connect to the member ports of the smart link group; otherwise, the ports will discard flush messages when they are not in the forwarding state in case of a topology change. Enabling the receiving of flush messages You do not need to enable all ports on the associated devices to receive flush messages sent from the transmit control VLAN; you only need to enable those on the master and slave links between the smart link device and the destination device. Configuration guidelines • Configure all the control VLANs to receive flush messages. • If no control VLAN is specified for processing flush messages, the device forwards the received flush messages without processing them. • Make sure the receive control VLAN is the same as the transmit control VLAN configured on the smart link device. If they are not the same, the associated device will forward the received flush messages directly without any processing. • Do not remove the control VLANs. Otherwise, flush messages cannot be sent properly. • Make sure the control VLANs are existing VLANs, and assign the ports capable of receiving flush messages to the control VLANs. Configuration procedure To enable the receiving of flush messages: Step 1. Enter system view. 2. Enter Layer 2 Ethernet interface view or Layer 2 aggregate interface view. Command system-view interface interface-type interface-number Remarks N/A N/A 3. Configure the control VLANs smart-link flush enable for receiving flush messages. [ control-vlan vlan-id-list ] By default, no control VLAN exists for receiving flush messages.
