Cisco Nexus 5000 Series - Monitoring Ports in a VSAN

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.
Monitoring Ports in a VSAN
You can monitor a tracked port in a specific VSAN.
SUMMARY STEPS
1.
configure terminal
2.
switch(config)# interface fc slot/port
3.
port-track interface san-port-channel 1 vsan 2
4.
no port-track interface san-port-channel 1 vsan 2
DETAILED STEPS
PurposeCommand or Action
Enters global configuration mode.configure terminal
Example:
switch# configure terminal
switch(config)#
Step 1
Configures the specified interface and enters the interface
configuration mode. You can now configure tracked
ports.
switch(config)# interface fc slot/port
Step 2
Enables tracking of the SAN port channel in VSAN 2.port-track interface san-port-channel 1 vsan 2
Example:
switch(config-if)# port-track interface
san-port-channel 1 vsan 2
Step 3
Removes the VSAN association for the linked port. The
SAN port channel link remains in effect.
no port-track interface san-port-channel 1 vsan 2
Example:
switch(config-if)# port-track interface
san-port-channel 1 vsan 2
