Chapter 20 Configuring Flex Links and the MAC Address-Table Move Update Feature
Configuring Flex Links and MAC Address-Table Move Update
When a Flex Link interface comes up, VLANs preferred on this interface are blocked on the peer
interface and moved to the forwarding state on the interface that has just come up. In this example, if
interface Gi2/0/6 comes up, VLANs preferred on this interface are blocked on the peer interface Gi2/0/8
and forwarded on Gi2/0/6.

and forwarded on Gi2/0/6.
