14.1.6 Configuring ports not subject to GSRP control

Points to note

Set a port or aggregated link port as a port not under GSRP control. When you set Ethernet interfaces or port channel interfaces as such ports, those interfaces are always able to forward frames regardless of the status of GSRP switches.

You can use ports that are not under GSRP control for the following purposes:

• To make it easier for Layer 3 redundancy switching to provide a connection to the upstream network

• To remotely manage the Switches

Command examples

1. (config)# interface gigabitethernet 1/0/1

   Switches to the Ethernet interface configuration mode for port 1/0/1.

2. (config-if)# gsrp exception-port

   Sets port 1/0/1 as a port not under GSRP control.
