Configuring Port Tracking
Configuring Linked Ports
You can link ports using one of two methods:
• Operationally binding the linked ports to the tracked port (default).
• Continuing to keep the linked port down forcefully, even if the tracked port has recovered from the link
failure.
Operationally Binding a Tracked Port
When you configure the first tracked port, operational binding is automatically in effect. When you use this
method, you have the option to monitor multiple ports or monitor ports in one VSAN.
To operationally bind a tracked port, perform this task:

Tracking Multiple Ports
You can control the operational state of the linked port based on the operational states of multiple tracked
ports. When more than one tracked port is associated with a linked port, the operational state of the linked
port will be set to down only if all the associated tracked ports are down. Even if one tracked port is up, the
linked port will stay up.

Command or Action
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# interface fc slot/port
switch(config-if)# port-track
interface fc slot/port |
san-port-channel port
switch(config-if)# no port-track
interface fc slot/port |
san-port-channel port
Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Enters the interface configuration mode for the linked
port. You can now configure the tracked ports.
If this is a QSFP+ GEM, the slot/port syntax is
Note
slot/QSFP-module/port.
Specifies the tracked port. When the tracked port goes
down, the linked port is also brought down.
Note
If this is a QSFP+ GEM, the slot/port syntax is
slot/QSFP-module/port.
Removes the port tracking configuration that is currently
applied to the interface.
If this is a QSFP+ GEM, the slot/port syntax is
Note
slot/QSFP-module/port.
