Dell Force10 C150 - Important Points about Shared LAG State Tracking

548 | Link Aggregation Control Protocol
www.dell.com | support.dell.com
In Figure 24-8, LAGs 1 and 2 are members of a failover group. LAG 1 fails and LAG 2 is brought down
upon the failure. This effect is logged by Message 2, in which a console message declares both LAGs
down at the same time.

View the status of a failover group member using the command show interface port-channel, as shown in
Figure 24-9.

Important Points about Shared LAG State Tracking
• This feature is available for static and dynamic LAGs.
Message 2 Shared LAG State Tracking Console Message
2d1h45m: %RPM0-P:CP %IFMGR-5-OSTATE_DN: Changed interface state to down: Po 1
2d1h45m: %RPM0-P:CP %IFMGR-5-OSTATE_DN: Changed interface state to down: Po 2
Note: The set of console messages shown in Message 2 appear only if Shared LAG State Tracking is
configured on that router (the feature can be configured on one or both sides of a link). For example, in
Figure 24-8, if Shared LAG State Tracking is configured on R2 only, then no messages appear on R4
regarding the state of LAGs in a failover group.
