Selecting an active interface

You might want to select one interface over another when you add a new, higher speed or higher bandwidth interface to the vif and want this new interface to be the preferred interface.

Step

  1. Enter the following command: vif favor interface_name

    interface_name is the name of the interface you want to be active.

Example

You can specify the interface e1 to be preferred with the following command:

vif favor e1

Note: The operation performed using the vif favor command is not persistent across reboots unless the command is added to the /etc/rc file.
