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.
