Configuring Port Tracking

Tracking Multiple Ports

Detailed Steps

To track multiple ports, follow these steps:

	Command	Purpose
Step 1
	switch# config t	Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
	switch(config)# interface fc8/6	Configures the specified interface and enters the interface
		configuration submode. You can now configure tracked ports.
		Note This link symbolizes the direct link (1) in Figure 9-2.
Step 3
	switch(config-if)# port-track	Tracks interface fc8/6 with interface port-channel 1. When
	interface port-channel 1	port-channel 1 goes down, interface fc8/6 is also brought down.
		Note This link symbolizes the ISL (2) in Figure 9-2.
Step 4
	switch(config-if)# port-track	Tracks interface fc8/6 with interface fcip 5. When FCIP 5 goes
	interface fcip 5	down, interface fc8/6 is also brought down.
		Note This link symbolizes the ISL (3) in Figure 9-2.

Information About Monitoring Ports in a VSAN

You can optionally configure one VSAN from the set of all operational VSANs on the tracked port with the linked port by specifying the required VSAN. This level of flexibility provides higher granularity in tracked ports. In some cases, when a tracked port is a TE port, the set of operational VSANs on the port can change dynamically without bringing down the operational state of the port. In such cases, the port VSAN of the linked port can be monitored on the set of operational VSANs on the tracked port.

If you configure this feature, the linked port is up only when the VSAN is up on the tracked port.

Tip The specified VSAN does not have to be the same as the port VSAN of the linked port.

Monitoring Ports in a VSAN

Detailed Steps

To monitor a tracked port in a specific VSAN, follow these steps:

	Command	Purpose
Step 1
	switch# config t	Enters configuration mode.
Step 2
	switch(config)# interface fc8/6	Configures the specified interface and enters the interface
		configuration submode. You can now configure tracked ports.
Step 3
	switch(config-if)# port-track	Enables tracking of the PortChannel in VSAN 2.
	interface port-channel 1 vsan 2
	switch(config-if)# no port-track	Removes the VSAN association for the linked port. The
	interface port-channel 1 vsan 2	PortChannel link remains in effect.
