CISCO-PORT-TRACK-MIB

AI MIB Summary

The CISCO-PORT-TRACK-MIB manages Cisco switch link-state dependencies by configuring the `cptPortTrackTable` to associate tracked ports with tracking ports, triggering forced shutdowns via `cptPortForceShutTable` when upstream link failures occur to prevent end-device connectivity issues. This mechanism monitors operational status changes to propagate link-down events directly to dependent access ports, ensuring immediate service isolation during indirect network failures.

A MIB to configure the Port-Track feature. When a link goes down, all the services which depend on the link are notified of the outage. The loss of this link may be an indirect failure to the end devices attached to the switch. The concept behind the Port-Track feature is to create a direct failure on the ports connected to end devices on event of such indirect failures. One more ports can be 'tracked' in terms of their operational status. The cptPortTrackTable lets the user associate which port(s) need to be tracked to the ports that will be tracking them. cptPortForceShutTable, lets the user configure the forced-shut mode of the linked-port.

cptPortTrackTableA table listing the linked ports and the configurations of their associated tracked ports. The configuration of each tracked port includes its interface index as well as a VSAN index if only one VSAN is to be tracked.

cptPortTrackVsanTypeThis objects denotes whether a single VSAN is being tracked on cptPortTrackTrackedPort or all the VSANs on that port are tracked. If the set to 'singleVsan', then the VSAN that will be tracked will be denoted by the instance of cptPortTrackVsanIndex.rw
Enumeration
.1.3.6.1.4.1.9.9.437.1.1.1.1.3
cptPortTrackVsanIndexValid only if the instance of cptPortTrackVsanType is 'singleVsan'. If cptPortTrackVsanType is 'allVsans', the instance of this object is irrelevant.rw

cptPortTrackRowStatusThis object is used to create or delete the row. When creating a row, the object cptPortTrackVsanType must be specified. If the value of cptPortTrackVsanType is 'singleVsan' then the object cptPortTrackVsanIndex also must be specified. If the value of cptPortTrackVsanType is 'allVsans', then cptPortTrackVsanIndex should not be specified in the create request.rw

cptPortForceStateThe forced-shut state of the linked port. When all the tracked ports corresponding to cptPortTrackLinkedPort, go down, cptPortTrackLinkedPort is brought down. The cptPortForceState, determines the manner in which this operation is performed. If 'false', cptPortTrackLinkedPort is brought down operationally only and is brought up again as soon as any one of the tracked ports comes up. If 'true', cptPortTrackLinkedPort is brought down administratively as well and the user has to manually bring the port up. i.e. the ifAdminStatus cptPortTrackLinkedPort needs to be set to 'up' by the user.rw
