Active channel: backup adapter
ETHERNET STATISTICS (ent3) :
Switch ID: ETHERNET0
Backup adapter - ent2:
ETHERNET STATISTICS (ent2) :
Switch ID: ETHERNET0

So this shows me that my etherchannel (ent5) is comprised of ent2 and ent3, and that the current Active channel is the backup adapter which is adapter ent2.

HTH!

But my question is, when the active interface fails for some reason (say someone unplugged the wrong cabe on the switch side, simple mistake) will the ent2 and ent3 change positions in the entstat output, i.e., will I see ent2 as my active adapter and ent3 as the backup (or maybe in a failed state) ?

NAME
fastx_clipper - FASTA/Q Clipper DESCRIPTION
usage: fastx_clipper [-h] [-a ADAPTER] [-D] [-l N] [-n] [-d N] [-c] [-C] [-o] [-v] [-z] [-i INFILE] [-o OUTFILE] Part of FASTX Toolkit 0.0.13.2 by A. Gordon (gordon@cshl.edu) [-h] = This helpful help screen. [-a ADAPTER] = ADAPTER string. default is CCTTAAGG (dummy adapter). [-l N] = discard sequences shorter than N nucleotides. default is 5. [-d N] = Keep the adapter and N bases after it. (using '-d 0' is the same as not using '-d' at all. which is the default). [-c] = Discard non-clipped sequences (i.e. - keep only sequences which contained the adapter). [-C] = Discard clipped sequences (i.e. - keep only sequences which did not contained the adapter). [-k] = Report Adapter-Only sequences. [-n] = keep sequences with unknown (N) nucleotides. default is to discard such sequences. [-v] = Verbose - report number of sequences. If [-o] is specified, report will be printed to STDOUT. If [-o] is not specified (and output goes to STDOUT), report will be printed to STDERR. [-z] = Compress output with GZIP. [-D] = DEBUG output. [-M N] = require minimum adapter alignment length of N. If less than N nucleotides aligned with the adapter - don't clip it. [-i INFILE] = FASTA/Q input file. default is STDIN. [-o OUTFILE] = FASTA/Q output file. default is STDOUT. SEE ALSO
