Description When the main interface participates in backup load sharing, the backup center uses
the backup bandwidth that you configured preferentially on the main interface. If it is
not configured, the backup center automatically obtains the information that the
system provides on the physical bandwidth of the main interface. In case the
information is not available, the backup center would require you to assign backup
bandwidth to the main interface.
Before you can use this command, you must use the standby interface
command to specify physical interfaces or logical channels to back up the interface.
