# Manually shut down the active interface GigabitEthernet 0/1.
[FirewallA-GigabitEthernet0/1] shutdown
# 10 seconds after the active interface was shut down, standby interface GigabitEthernet 0/2 with
a higher priority is enabled. Then you can view the state of the active and standby interfaces.

Multi-interface load balancing configuration example
Network requirement
Use interfaces GigabitEthernet 0/2 and GigabitEthernet 0/3 on Firewall A to back up the active
interface GigabitEthernet 0/1, assigning interface GigabitEthernet 0/2 a higher priority.
Configure the available bandwidth used for setting the thresholds and the enable-threshold and
disable-threshold of load balancing.
