slot/port information.

the slot/port information.
port-channel (OPTIONAL) Enter the keywords port-channel if the backup port is a static or
dynamic port channel.
mode (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword mode to set the interface mode.
private-vlan (OPTIONAL) Enter the keywords private-vlan to set the interface mode to private
VLAN mode.
host (OPTIONAL) Enter the keyword host to set the private VLAN interface to host mode.
