Super Micro Intelligent Switch Command Line Interface User Guide
35 Link Status Tracking
Link status tracking feature helps to control the link status of downstream interfaces based on the
link status of upstream interfaces.
The interfaces connected to servers and other end devices are called downstream interfaces.
And the uplink interfaces of the switches are referred as upstream interfaces.
Link status tracking feature dynamically changes the link status of downstream interfaces
depending on the link status of upstream interfaces. When the link status of one or more of the
upstream interfaces are up, it maintains the link status of all the dependent downstream
interfaces as up. When all the upstream interfaces are down, it brings down all the dependent
downstream interfaces. This helps servers to choose the alternate interfaces to send traffic.
User can configure multiple groups of upstream and downstream interfaces for independent link
status tracking among different groups.
The list of CLI commands for the configuration of link status tracking is as follows:
link-status-tracking
link-status-tracking group
link-status-tracking group – interface
