What is Link Dependency?

The link dependency feature provides the ability to enable or disable one or

more ports based on the link state of one or more different ports. With link

dependency enabled on a port, the link state of that port is dependent on the

link state of another port. For example, if port A is dependent on port B and

the switch detects a link loss on port B, the switch automatically brings down

the link on port A. When the link is restored to port B, the switch

automatically restores the link to port A.

You can create a maximum of 16 groups.

Configuring Port Characteristics

handled by the port.
