How to configure smart pair on CLI and Web GUI? Follow

Support models: ECS4100 series

Firmware version: 1.2.30.183 and above

Scenario:

Concept:

CLI Configuration:
Step 1) Disable spanning-tree on each port
Dut1:

Dut1#configure
Dut1(config)#interface ethernet 1/9,10,11
Dut1(config-if)#spanning-tree spanning-disabled

Dut2:

Dut2#configure
Dut2(config)#interface ethernet 1/10,12
Dut2(config-if)#spanning-tree spanning-disabled

Dut3:

Dut3#configure
Dut3(config)#interface ethernet 1/9,11,12
Dut3(config-if)#spanning-tree spanning-disabled

*Note: Smart Pair can’t be configured as one of these port types.

1. LACP enable port
2. Spanning Tree enabled port

Step 2) Set the smart pair configuration on Dut3
Dut3:

Dut3#configure
Dut3(config)#smart-pair 1
Dut3(config-smart-pair)#primary-port ethernet 1/11
Dut3(config-smart-pair)#backup-port ethernet 1/12

Step 3) Check the smart pair configuration is correct
Dut3:

Dut3#show smart-pair 1
Primary Port : Eth 1/11 (forwarding)
Backup Port  : Eth 1/12 (blocking)
Wait-To-Restore Delay : 30 seconds

*Default WTR time is 30 seconds

Step 4) Client A keep pinging Clint B

The traffic is normal.

Step 5) Client A keep pinging Clint B and then unplug Dut3_Port1/11


Since the traffic failover to the backup port (Port1/12), the ICMP traffic will still work.

Step 6) Check the smart pair status
Dut3:

Dut3#show smart-pair 1
Primary Port  : Eth 1/11 (blocking)
Backup Port   : Eth 1/12 (forwarding)
Wait-To-Restore Delay : 30 seconds

Step 7) Plug in Dut3_Port1/11 and wait for 30 seconds


The ICMP traffic will still work when the traffic transfer back to the primary port

Step 8) Check the smart pair status
Dut3:

Dut3#show smart-pair 1
Primary Port  : Eth 1/11 (forwarding)
Backup Port   : Eth 1/12 (blocking)
Wait-To-Restore Delay : 30 seconds

WEB Configuration:

Step 0) Set the management IP on each switch
Dut1:

Dut1#configure
Dut1(config)#interface vlan 1
Dut1(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.1/24

Dut2:

Dut2#configure
Dut2(config)#interface vlan 1
Dut2(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.2/24

Dut3:

Dut3#configure
Dut3(config)#interface vlan 1
Dut3(config-if)#ip address 192.168.1.3/24

Step 1) Log in the switch by Web GUI
Dut1:


Step 2) Disable the spanning tree 

Step 3) Disable the spanning tree 
Dut2: Follow the same steps as Dut1

Step 4) Disable the spanning tree 
Dut3: Follow the same steps as Dut1



Step 5) Set the smart pair configuration on Dut3


 

Step 6) Check the smart pair status



The status is normal
Step 7) Client A keep pinging Clint B


The traffic is normal
Step 8) Client A keep pinging Clint B and then unplug in Dut3_Port1/11


Since the traffic failover to the backup port (Port1/12), the ICMP traffic will still work.

Step 9) Check the smart pair status


Step 10) Plug in Dut3_Port1/11 and wait for 30 seconds


The ICMP traffic will still work when the traffic transfer back to the primary port

Step 11) Check the smart pair status
