priority_level | shutdown}
Syntax Description
Defaults There are no standby interfaces by default. The errors option is disabled by default.
Command Modes interface configuration
group_number Standby group number (1–4).
description (Optional) Sets the description for the specified interface.
text Description for the specified interface. The maximum length of the
description text is 240 characters.
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.
max-errors Maximum number of errors (0–4294967295).
ip Sets the IP address for the specified standby group (Standby Group 1, 2, 3,
or 4).
ip-address IP address of 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.
netmask Netmask of the specified standby group (Standby Group 1, 2, 3, or 4).
priority Sets the priority of the member interface within a standby group. The
priority of a member interface can be changed at runtime. 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).
priority_level Each member interface is assigned a priority number. The member interface
with the highest priority number is the active interface for that standby
group. 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.
