PurposeCommand or Action
(Optional)
Displays the Network State Tracking configuration for
verification.
switch(config)# show network-state
tracking config
Step 6
(Optional)
Saves the change persistently through reboots and restarts
by copying the running configuration to the startup
configuration.
switch(config-if)# copy
running-config startup-config
Step 7
This example shows how to configure Network State Tracking with an 8-second interval between each sent
broadcast, repinning traffic to another uplink if a split network is detected, and a maximum of 7 missed
broadcasts before declaring a split network:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)# track network-state enable
switch(config)# track network-state interval 8
switch(config)# track network-state split action repin
switch(config)# track network-state threshold miss-count 7
switch(config)# show network-state tracking config
Tracking mode : enabled
Tracking Interval : 8 sec
Miss count threshold : 7 pkts
Split-network action : repin
switch(config)#
Configuring Static Pinning for an Interface
You can configure static pinning on a vEthernet interface.
You can also pin a subgroup to a vEthernet interface in the port profile configuration. See Pinning a
vEthernet Interface to a Subgroup.
Note
Before You Begin
Log in to the CLI in EXEC mode.
Procedure
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters global configuration mode.switch# configure terminal
Step 1
Enters interface configuration mode for the specified
interface (from 1 to 1048575).
switch(config)# interface vethernet
interface-number
Step 2
Assigns (or pins) a vEthernet interface to a specific
port channel subgroup (from 0 to 31).
switch(config-if)# pinning id subgroup_id
[backup subgroup_id1...subgroup_id7 ]
