Description This command applies to the main interface in the backup center. When the traffic on
all the active interfaces reaches the enable-threshold, the backup center enables the
standby interface with the highest priority. When the total traffic on all active
interfaces decreases below the disable-threshold, the backup center disables the
standby interface with the lowest priority.
The enable-threshold argument must not be less than the disable-threshold
argument.
Executing the undo standby threshold command shuts down all standby
interfaces that have been enabled, if there is any. After that, only the main interface
works.
