Shared LAG State Tracking<br />

Shared LAG State Tracking provides the user with the flexibility to bring down a port-channel based on<br />

the operational state of another port-channel. At any time, only two port-channels can be a part of a group<br />

such that the fate of one port-channel is dependant on the other port-channel.<br />

In Figure 139, line-rate traffic from R1 destined for R4 follows the lowest cost route via R2 as shown.<br />

Traffic is equally distributed between Port-channels 1 and 2. If Port-channel 1 fails, all traffic from R1 to<br />

R4 flows across Port-channel 2 only. This condition over-subscribes the link, and packets are dropped.<br />

To avoid packet loss, traffic must be re-directed through the next lowest cost link (R3 to R4). FTOS has the<br />

ability to bring Port-channel 2 down in the event that Port-channel 1 fails, so that traffic can be re-directed<br />

as described. This is what is meant by shared LAG state tracking. To achieve this functionality, you must<br />

group Port-channel 1 and Port-channel 2 into a single entity, called a failover group.<br />

Configuring Shared LAG State Tracking<br />

To configure shared LAG state tracking, you must configure a failover group:<br />
