As shown in Figure 1-2, all the devices including Switch C,Switch D, and Switch E on the active and backup links connecting the Smart Link device (Switch A) andthe target uplink device (Switch E) are all associated devices.However, you do not have to enable all the ports of an associated device to process flush messagesreceived from the specified control VLAN. You need to enable this function only on the ports that are onthe active and backup links connecting the Smart Link device and the target device. As shown in Figure1-2, you need to enable this function on Ethernet 1/0/2 and Ethernet 1/0/3 of Switch C, Ethernet 1/0/2and Ethernet 1/0/3 of Switch D, and Ethernet 11/0/1 and Ethernet 1/0/12 of Switch E.
