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

Usage Guidelines You can associate an interface with a standby group by using the standby 1 interface configuration
command. To make an interface the active interface in a standby group, use the standby 1 primary
interface configuration command. If you have already associated an interface with a standby group but
have not made it the primary interface, you cannot specify the command again to add the primary
designation. First, remove the interface from the standby group by using the no standby 1 command,
then reassign it, specifying the primary option at the same time.
A physical interface can be a member of a standby group or a port channel, but not both.
Examples The following example shows how to create a standby group:
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
The following example shows how to add two Gigabit Ethernet interfaces to Standby Group 1 and then
assign one of these member interfaces as the active interface in the group:
a. A Gigabit Ethernet interface (slot 1/port 0) is added to Standby Group 1.
1 Configures standby group 1.
primary (Optional) Defines the active interface in the standby group. By default, the
first attached interface is active.
