Command Usage
When setting the primary-port of the smart pair the following limitations are
enforced:
◆ Spanning-Tree must be disabled on the port.
◆ A configured primary port can only be a member of a single smart pair.
◆ Dynamic trunk ports cannot be configured as a smart pair port (only static
trunk ports).
◆ When a trunk group is identified as a primary port of a smart pair, any members
removed from the trunk group will not retain the smart pair settings.
◆ When all members of trunk group set as a primary port are removed, the
primary port is also removed.
◆ The VLAN mode of the primary-port should not be changed after it is
configured otherwise the behavior becomes unpredictable.
Example
Console(config-smart-pair)#primary-port ethernet 1/1
Console(config-smart-pair)#
