interface configuration command. To restore the default configuration of the interface, use the no form
of this command.

Syntax Description
Defaults There are no standby interfaces by default. The errors option is disabled by default.
Command Modes interface configuration
Device Modes application-accelerator
central-manager
group_number Standby group number (1–4).
description text (Optional) Sets the description for the specified interface. The maximum
length of the description text is 240 characters.
errors max-errors Sets the maximum number of errors allowed on the active interface before
the interface is shut down and the standby interface is brought up. This
option is disabled by default. Values are from 0 to 4294967295.
ip ip-address netmask Sets the IP address and the netmask for the specified standby group
(Standby Group 1, 2, 3, or 4). The group IP address and netmask of a
standby group must be configured on all of the member interfaces.
priority priority_level Sets the priority of the member interface within a standby group. The
priority of a member interface can be changed at run time. The member
interface that has the highest priority after this change becomes the new
active interface (the default action is to preempt the currently active
interface if an interface with higher priority exists). Only the active
interface uses the group IP address.
If the priority option is specified without a priority number, the default
value of 100 is used.
shutdown (Optional) Shuts down the specified standby group (Standby Group 1, 2, 3,
or 4). You can shut down a standby group even if you have not configured
a group IP address for the standby group.
Note When a standby group is shut down, all of the alarms previously
raised by this standby group are cleared.
