Tracking a Layer 2 Interface

You can create an object that tracks the line-protocol state of a Layer 2 interface and monitors its operational status (UP or DOWN).

You can track the status of any of the following Layer 2 interfaces:
  • 1 Gigabit Ethernet: Enter gigabitethernet slot/port in the track interface interface command (see Step 1).
  • 10 Gigabit Ethernet: Enter tengigabitethernet slot/port.
  • Port channel: Enter port-channel number.
  • VLAN: Enter vlan vlan-id, where valid VLAN IDs are from 1 to 4094

A line-protocol object only tracks the link-level (UP/DOWN) status of a specified interface. When the link-level status goes down, the tracked object status is DOWN; if the link-level status is up, the tracked object status is UP.

To remove object tracking on a Layer 2 interface, use the no track object-id command.

To configure object tracking on the status of a Layer 2 interface, use the following commands.

  1. Configure object tracking on the line-protocol state of a Layer 2 interface.
    CONFIGURATION mode
    track object-id interface interface line-protocol
    Valid object IDs are from 1 to 500.
  2. (Optional) Configure the time delay used before communicating a change in the status of a tracked interface.
    OBJECT TRACKING mode
    delay {[up seconds] [down seconds]}
    Valid delay times are from 0 to 180 seconds.
    The default is 0.
  3. (Optional) Identify the tracked object with a text description.
    OBJECT TRACKING mode
    description text
    The text string can be up to 80 characters.
  4. (Optional) Display the tracking configuration and the tracked object’s status.
    EXEC Privilege mode
    show track object-id

Example of Configuring Object Tracking

DellEMC(conf)#track 100 interface tengigabitethernet 1/1 line-protocol
DellEMC(conf-track-100)#delay up 20
DellEMC(conf-track-100)#description San Jose data center
DellEMC(conf-track-100)#end
DellEMC#show track 100
