Backup
 
Transmits and receives frames.  
Does not transmit or receive frames. The link may be permanently disabled, for 
example, when testing. A disabled line freezes all link operation, including 
connection attempts and forwarding. 
If a link is defined as backup to another, then whenever the main link operates 
normally, the backup link is disabled. If the main link fails, the backup link begins 
to operate and become enabled. You must make sure that the routing settings are 
correct so that traffic will be forwarded to the desired destination via the backup 
link. When you restore the main link connection, the backup link becomes 
disabled again.
