(config-if) standby
Examples The following example shows how to configure two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces to be part of the same
standby group, with interface 1/0 as the active interface:
WAE(config-if)# interface gigabitEthernet 1/0 standby 1 ip 10.16.10.10 255.255.254.0
WAE(config-if)# interface gigabitEthernet 2/0 standby 1 ip 10.16.10.10 255.255.254.0
WAE(config-if)# interface gigabitEthernet 1/0 standby 1 priority 300
WAE(config-if)# interface gigabitEthernet 2/0 standby 1 priority 200
WAE(config-if)# interface gigabitEthernet 1/0 standby 1 errors 10000
WAE(config-if)# interface gigabitEthernet 2/0 standby 1 errors 10000
The following example shows how to display information about the standby group configuration by
entering the show standby EXEC command. In the following sample command output, one standby
group (Standby Group 1) is configured on this WAAS device. The command output also shows which
member interface is the active interface. In this case, the active interface is the Gigabit Ethernet slot
1/port 0 interface.
WAE# show standby
Standby Group: 1
Description: This a backup for Gigabit Ethernet 2/0.
IP address: 10.16.10.10, netmask: 255.0.0.0
Member interfaces: none
Active interface: Gigabit Ethernet 1/0
Maximum errors allowed on the active interface: 500
Note To display information about a specific standby group configuration, use the show interface
standby group_number EXEC command.
The following example shows how to create a standby group, Standby Group 1:
WAE# configure
WAE(config)# interface standby 1
WAE(config-if)#
The following example shows how to assign a group IP address of 10.10.10.10 and a netmask of
255.0.0.0 to Standby Group 1. You can configure a group IP address regardless of whether the standby
group is shut down or not.
WAE(config-if)# ip address 10.10.10.10 255.0.0.0
WAE(config-if)# errors 500
The following example shows how to add two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces to Standby Group 1 and then
assign a priority within the group to each of these member interfaces:
a. A Gigabit Ethernet interface (slot 1/port 0) is added to Standby Group 1 and assigned a priority of
150.
WAE(config)# interface gigabitEthernet 1/0
WAE(config-if)# standby 1 priority 150
b. A second Gigabit Ethernet interface (slot 2/port 0) is added to Standby Group 1 and assigned a
priority of 100 (the default value).
WAE(config)# interface gigabitEthernet 2/0
WAE(config-if)# standby 1
WAE(config-if)# exit
WAE(config)#
Because GigabitEthernet 0/0 is assigned the highest priority (a priority number of 150) of all the member
interfaces in the group, it is the active interface for the group (if it can be brought up).
