Backup
Transmits and receives frames.
Does not transmit or receive frames. The link may be permanently disabled, for
example, when testing. A disabled line freezes all link operation, including
connection attempts and forwarding.
If a link is defined as backup to another, then whenever the main link operates
normally, the backup link is disabled. If the main link fails, the backup link begins
to operate and become enabled. You must make sure that the routing settings are
correct so that traffic will be forwarded to the desired destination via the backup
link. When you restore the main link connection, the backup link becomes
disabled again.
