This option allows adding, editing and deleting a port or a port channel as backup for a primary interface, and enable or disable the mac-address-move update transmit feature for the flex links pair. Disable spanning-tree for flex links pair to function properly.

  • Delete: To delete an existing flex links pair, check this check box and click Save. The entry will be deleted from the switch.

  • Primary Interface: This defines the primary interface in Name and Number. Name can be chosen as a port or LLAG (port channel), and Number can be a valid ID. For example, for port number can be 1 to 6, and LLAG number can be any existing LLAG group id.

    Note


    After adding a primary interface, the primary interface entry can only be deleted but not edited.

  • MAC-address-table move update: A check box for enabling or disabling the mac-address-move update transmit feature for the particular flex links entry. To enable the mac-address-move update transmit feature, check the check box. The check box is unchecked by default.

  • Add New Entry: Click this button to add a new Flex Links entry. An empty row is added to the table, and the flex links pair can be configured as needed. Legal values for a interface port number are 1 through 6. Legal values for a interface LLAG number are any existing LLAG group ids.

    An entry with any members duplicating the existing entries in either port interface or LLAG groups will not be added when you click Save. The port interface that is included in an LLAG group is not allowed to be used alone.

    The Delete button can be used to undo the addition of new entries. The maximum possible entries number are limited to port array size.
