When you create a single-mode vif, an interface is selected randomly to be the active interface. However, if you want to specify another interface as active, you can use the vif favor command to override the random selection. This new active interface is also known as a preferred interface. There can only be one active interface in a single-mode vif.
You might want to change the active interface to another interface if you add a new interface to the vif and want this new interface to be active.
To change the active interface in a single-mode vif, complete the following step.
Note
The operation performed using the vif favor command is not persistent across reboots unless the command is added to the /etc/rc file.
