Protected link groups

The configuration for the above illustration is as follows.
Switch 1
PowerConnect(config)# protected-link-group 1 e 1/3 e 1/6
PowerConnect(config)# protected-link-group 1 active-port e 1/3
Switch 2
PowerConnect(config)# protected-link-group 1 e 1/12 e 1/15
PowerConnect(config)# protected-link-group 1 active-port e 1/12
Creating a protected link group and assigning
an active port
Follow the steps given below to create a protected link group.
1. Specify the member ports in the protected link group. Enter a command such as the following.
PowerConnect(config)#protected-link-group 10 e 1 to 4
2. Optionally specify which port will be the active port for the protected link group. Enter a
command such as the following.
PowerConnect(config)#protected-link-group 10 active-port e 1
NOTE
If you do not explicitly configure an active port, the Dell PowerConnect device automatically
assigns one as the first port in the protected link group to come up.
These commands configure port e1 as the active port and ports e2 – e4 as standby ports. If port 1
goes down, the Dell PowerConnect device enables the first available standby port, and switches the
traffic to that port. Since the above configuration consists of a statically configured active port, the
active port pre-empts other ports in the protected link group. Refer to “About active ports” on
page 389.
Syntax: [no] protected-link-group <group-ID> ethernet <port> to <port>
The <group-ID> parameter specifies the protected link group number. Enter a number from 1 – 32.
Each ethernet <port> to <port> specifies the ports in the protected link group. Specify the <port>
variable in the following formats:
PowerConnect B-Series FCX stackable switches – <stack-unit/slotnum/portnum>
