Configuring Port Tracking
The Port Tracking feature is unique to the Cisco MDS 9000 Family of switches. This feature uses
information about the operational state of the link to initiate a failure in the link that connects the edge
device. This process of converting the indirect failure to a direct failure triggers a faster recovery process
towards redundant links. When enabled, the port tracking feature brings down the configured links based
on the failed link and forces the traffic to be redirected to another redundant link.
