Configuring Hot Links
602
G8264 Application Guide for ENOS 8.4
A port that is a member of the Master interface cannot be a member of the
Backup interface. A port that is a member of one Hot Links trigger cannot be a
member of another Hot Links trigger.
An individual port that is configured as a Hot Link interface cannot be a
member of a LAG.
Spanning Tree Protocol must be disabled on Hot Links ports. For instance, if Hot
Links ports 1 and 2 belong to STGs 1 and 23, use the following commands to
disable the STGs:
RS G8264(config)# no span stp 1 enable
RS G8264(config)# no span stp 23 enable
Use the following commands to configure Hot Links.
RS G8264(config)# [no] hotlinks bpdu
RS G8264(config)# [no] hotlinks enable
RS G8264(config)# [no] hotlinks fdbupdate (Enable or disable Hot Links FDB update)
RS G8264(config)# hotlinks fdbupdaterate (Configure FDB update rate in packets per
