The Backup Interface Support threshold setting configures analysis for interfaces that are used as backup. When an interface is identified as a backup, the connectivity failure diagnosis is modified for it as follows:

  • The BackupActivated notification is generated if the interface comes up.

  • The ExceededMaximumUptime notification is generated if the interface stays up for a time that equals or exceeds the MaximumUptime value.

    Note:

    In case of a backup interface, a Down notification is not generated if that interface is down.

    Default values for the Backup Interface Support threshold setting lists the Backup Interface Support threshold setting parameters.
