Automatic Switchover
Automatic switchover enables a vNIC to revert back to a primary path after it’s
restored (comes back online). When auto-switchover is not configured, a vNIC
remains on the secondary path and never reverts back to primary (default).
Syntax
Default: automatic switchover is disabled.
Example: Configure Automatic Switchover
Card 1/1 is the primary link for a vNIC named test_1.01bardeen. The secondary link
connects to card 2/1.
