M4300 Intelligent Edge Series Fully Managed Stackable Switches Configure Link Dependency The link dependency feature provides the ability to enable or disable one or more ports based on the link state of one or more different ports. With link dependency enabled on a port, the link state of that port is dependent on the link state of another port. For example, if port A is dependent on port B and the switch detects a link loss on port B, the switch automatically brings down the link on port A. When the link is restored to port B, the switch automatically restores the link to port A. Configure Link Dependency Group To configure a link dependency group: 1. Launch a web browser. 2. In the address field of your web browser, enter the IP address of the switch. The login window opens. 3. Enter admin as the user name, enter your local device password, and click the Login button. The first time that you log in, no password is required. However, you then must specify a local device password to use each subsequent time that you log in. The System Information page displays. 4. Select System > Link Dependency > Link Dependency Group Configuration. 5. Select the Group ID option for which data is to be displayed. The range for Group ID is 1 to 16. 6.
