About Tracked Port
A tracked port is one whose operational state is continuously monitored. The operational state of the tracked port is used to alter the operational state of one or more ports. Fibre Channel, VSAN, PortChannel, FCIP, or a Gigabit Ethernet port can be tracked. Generally, ports in E and TE port modes can also be Fx ports. Ports can be linked using one of the following two methods:
To operationally bind a tracked port, follow these steps:
- Expand Switches, expand Interfaces, and then select Port Tracking in the Physical Attributes pane.
- Click the Dependencies tab.
- Click Create Row.
- Select the switch whose ports you want to track by clicking ... and selecting from the list.
- Select the linked port(s) that should be bound to the tracked port(s) by clicking ... and selecting from the list.
- Choose Single VSAN if you want to track these ports only in one VSAN. Select All VSANs if you want to track these ports in all the available VSANs.
- If you chose Single VSAN in the previous step, enter the ID of the VSAN where these ports will be monitored.
- Check the Forceshut option if you want to forcefully shutdown the tracked port.
- Click Create to proceed with creating this dependency or close the dialog box to discard any changes.
