Step 2
switch(config)# interface fc8/6
Configures the specified interface and enters the interface configuration submode. You can now configure tracked ports.

Step 3 switch(config-if)# port-track interface port-channel 1
Tracks interface fc8/6 with interface port-channel 1. When port-channel 1 goes down, interface fc8/6 is also brought
down.

Step 4 switch(config-if)# port-track interface fcip 5
Tracks interface fc8/6 with interface fcip 5. When FCIP 5 goes down, interface fc8/6 is also brought down.

Note
Information About 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.
Tip The specified VSAN does not have to be the same as the port VSAN of the linked port.

Monitoring Ports in a VSAN

To monitor a tracked port in a specific VSAN, perform these steps:
Step 1 switch# configure terminal
Enters configuration mode.
Step 2 switch(config)# interface fc8/6
Configures the specified interface and enters the interface configuration submode. You can now configure tracked ports.
Step 3
switch(config-if)# port-track interface port-channel 1 vsan 2
Enables tracking of the PortChannel in VSAN 2.
switch(config-if)# no port-track interface port-channel 1 vsan 2
(Optional) Removes the VSAN association for the linked port. The PortChannel link remains in effect.
