Asshown in Figure 1-2, all the devices including Switch C, Switch D, and Switch E on theactive and backup links connecting the Smart Link device (Switch A) and the targetuplink device (Switch E) are all associated devices.However, you do not have to enable all the ports of an associated device to processflush messages received from the specified control VLAN. You need to enable thisfunction only on the ports that are on the active and backup links connecting the SmartLink device and the target device. As shown in Figure 1-2, you need to enable thisfunction on GigabitEthernet 1/0/2 and GigabitEthernet 1/0/3 of Switch C,
