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