Abstract
A customer edge device is connected, in a multi-homed configuration, to a device via a downlink of the device and to another device via another downlink of the other device. The device may determine that each of one or more uplinks of the device has an inactive interface status and may thereby cause the downlink of the device to be down. This may cause the customer edge device to communicate network traffic via the other downlink of the other device. The device may determine that at least one uplink, of the one or more uplinks, has an active interface status and may thereby cause the downlink to be up. This may cause the customer edge device to communicate network traffic via the downlink of the device.
