Purpose
Enables the interface.
(Optional) Designates this unit as the secondary unit:
Note
This step is optional because, by default, units are
designated as secondary unless previously configured.
Enables failover.

Saves the configuration to flash memory.
Enter the command after the running configuration has completed
