[f-nsp] One port depending on another port.

[Jonas Frey (Probe Networks)]

There is a way to do this...somewhat.

You need to create a lag (link aggregation) of 2 or more ports. Then
within the lag you can set "trunk-threshold". If the number set there of
links fail then the whole lag is shut down (for example if you have 2
links and set that value to 1 then the lag is shutdown if one link
fails). I am not sure if it actually shuts down only the lag itself or
if it shuts down all ports. Atleast there will be no more traffic flow.
Guess thats worth a try...

Best regards,
Jonas
