Command depends-on interface action {down|up} CTRL + Z show link-dependency [group group_id] Purpose Specify the port(s) upon which the member ports are dependent. For information about the interface variable, see the previous command description. Specifies the action the member ports take when the dependent link goes down. • down-When the dependent link is down, the group members are down (the members are up otherwise). • up-When the dependent link goes down, the group members are brought up (the members are down otherwise) Exit to Privileged EXEC mode. View link dependency settings for all groups or for the specified group, along with the group state. Configuring Port Characteristics 465
