Configuring Port Tracking

</h1>
<a name="wp1156227"> </a><p class="pBody">
Port tracking has the following features:

</p>
<div class="pSmartList1"><ul class="pSmartList1">
<a name="wp1156228"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">The application brings the linked port down when the tracked port goes down. When the tracked port 
recovers from the failure and comes back up again, the tracked port is also brought up automatically 
(unless otherwise configured). 
</li>
<a name="wp1156225"> </a><li class="pSmartList1">You can forcefully continue to keep the linked port down, even though the tracked port comes back 
up. In this case, you must explicitly bring the port up when required.
</li>
