Monitoring Ports In A Vsan; Forcefully Shutting Down; Forcefully Shutting Down A Tracked Port - Cisco Nexus 6000 Series Configuration Manual

Configuring Port Tracking

Monitoring Ports in a VSAN

You can monitor a tracked port in a specific VSAN.
Procedure

Step 4

Forcefully Shutting down

If a tracked port flaps frequently, tracking ports using the operational binding feature may cause frequent
topology changes. You might choose to keep the port in the down state until you are able to resolve the reason
for these frequent flaps. Keeping the flapping port in the down state forces the traffic to flow through the
redundant path until the primary tracked port problems are resolved. When the problems are resolved and the
tracked port is back up, you can explicitly enable the interface.
If you configure this feature, the linked port continues to remain in the shutdown state even after the tracked
port comes back up. You must explicitly remove the forced shut state (by administratively bringing up this
interface) of the linked port once the tracked port is up and stable.

Forcefully Shutting Down a Tracked Port

You can forcefully shut down a tracked port.

Configuring Port Tracking
Purpose
Enters global configuration mode.
Configures the specified interface and enters
the interface configuration mode. You can now
configure tracked ports.
Enables tracking of the SAN port channel in
VSAN 2.
Removes the VSAN association for the linked
port. The SAN port channel link remains in
effect.
