Dell SmartFabric OS10 User Guide Release 10.5.3

Configure uplink failure detection

Consider the following before configuring an uplink-state group:

• An uplink-state group is considered to be operationally up if it has at least one upstream interface in the Link-Up state.
• An uplink-state group is considered to be operationally down if it has no upstream interfaces in the Link-Up state.
• You can assign a physical port or a port channel to an uplink-state group.
• You can assign an interface to only one uplink-state group at a time.
• You can designate the uplink-state group as either an upstream or downstream interface, but not both.
• You can configure multiple uplink-state groups and operate them concurrently.
• You cannot assign both a port channel and its members to an uplink-state group, which would make the group inactive. The port channels and individual ports that are not part of any port channel can coexist as members of an uplink-state group.
• If one of the upstream interfaces in an uplink-state group goes down, you can set the downstream ports in an operationally down state with an UFD Disabled error status. You can configure the system to disable either a user-configurable set of downstream ports or all the downstream ports in the group.
• The downstream ports are disabled in order starting from the lowest numbered port to the highest numbered port.
• When an upstream interface in an uplink-state group that was down comes up, the set of UFD-disabled downstream ports that were down due to that particular upstream interface are brought up, and the UFD Disabled error clears in those downstream ports.
• If you disable an uplink-state group, the downstream interfaces are not disabled, regardless of the state of the upstream interfaces.
• If you do not assign upstream interfaces to an uplink-state group, the downstream interfaces are not disabled.

Configuration:

1. Create an uplink-state group in CONFIGURATION mode.

   uplink-state-group group-id

2. Configure the upstream and downstream interfaces in UPLINK-STATE-GROUP mode.

   upstream {interface-type | interface-range[ track-vlt-status ] | VLTi}
   downstream {interface-type | interface-range}

3. (Optional) Disable uplink-state group tracking in UPLINK-STATE-GROUP mode.

   no enable

4. (Optional) Provide a descriptive name for the uplink-state group in UPLINK-STATE-GROUP mode.

   name string

5. Configure the number of downstream interfaces to disable, when an upstream interface goes down in UPLINK-STATE-GROUP mode.

   downstream disable links{number | all}

6. (Optional) Enable auto-recovery of downstream interfaces that are disabled in UPLINK-STATE-GROUP mode.

   downstream auto-recover

7. (Optional) Configure the timer to defer the UFD actions on downstream ports in UPLINK-STATE-GROUP mode. When you have configured to track the VLT status in a VLT network, if VLT port-channel is an upstream member of uplink-state group, then the defer timer triggers when the VLT status goes operationally down instead of the operational status of the peer port-channel.

   defer-time timer

8. (Optional) Clear the UFD error disabled state of downstream interfaces in EXEC mode.

   clear ufd-disable
