18 Smart Pair Commands
Smart Pair Concept
A smart pair consists of two ports which are paired to provide layer 2 link
redundancy, The pair consists of a primary port and a backup port. All traffic is
forwarded through the primary port and the backup port will be set to standby. If
the primary port link goes down, the backup port is activated and all traffic is
forwarded through it. If the primary port recovers, all traffic will again be forwarded
through the primary port after a configured delay. (wait-to-restore delay).
These commands are used to configure the smart pair ports, set the wait to restore
delay, show the smart pairs configured on the switch and restore traffic manually to
a configured smart pair.
smart-pair This command creates a smart pair in the switch configuration distinguished by a
unique identification number and enters the smart-pair configuration mode. Use
the no form to delete the smart pair from the switch configuration.
