Configuring Port Tracking
Before configuring port tracking, consider the following guidelines:
•
Verify that the tracked ports and the linked ports are on the same Cisco switch.
•
Be aware that the linked port is automatically brought down when the tracked port goes down.
•
Do not track a linked port back to itself (for example, Port fc2/2 to Port fc2/4 and back to Port fc2/2) to
avoid recursive dependency.
Enabling Port Tracking
The port tracking feature is disabled by default. When you enable this feature, port tracking is globally enabled
for the entire switch.
To configure port tracking, enable the port tracking feature and configure the linked ports for the tracked port.
