Configuring Uplink Failure Detection

To configure UFD, use the following commands.

  1. Create an uplink-state group and enable the tracking of upstream links on the switch/router.
    CONFIGURATION mode
    uplink-state-group group-id
    • group-id: values are from 1 to 16.
    To delete an uplink-state group, use the no uplink-state-group group-id command.
  2. Assign a port or port-channel to the uplink-state group as an upstream or downstream interface.
    UPLINK-STATE-GROUP mode
    {upstream | downstream} interface
    For interface, enter one of the following interface types:
    • 1 Gigabit Ethernet: enter gigabitethernet {slot/port | slot/port-range}
    • 10 Gigabit Ethernet: enter tengigabitethernet {slot/port | slot/port-range}
    Where port-range and port-channel-range specify a range of ports separated by a dash (-) and/or individual ports/port channels in any order; for example:
    upstream gigabitethernet 1/1-1/2,1/5,1/9,1/11-1/12
    downstream port-channel 1-3,5
    • A comma is required to separate each port and port-range entry.
    To delete an interface from the group, use the no {upstream | downstream} interface command.
  3. Configure the number of downstream links in the uplink-state group that will be disabled (Oper Down state) if one upstream link in the group goes down.
    UPLINK-STATE-GROUP mode
    downstream disable links {number | all}
    • number: specifies the number of downstream links to be brought down. The range is from 1 to 1024.
    • all: brings down all downstream links in the group.
    The default is no downstream links are disabled when an upstream link goes down.
    NOTE Downstream interfaces in an uplink-state group are put into a Link-Down state with an UFD-Disabled error message only when all upstream interfaces in the group go down.
    To revert to the default setting, use the no downstream disable links command.
  4. (Optional) Enable auto-recovery so that UFD-disabled downstream ports in the uplink-state group come up when a disabled upstream port in the group comes back up.
    UPLINK-STATE-GROUP mode
    downstream auto-recover
    The default is auto-recovery of UFD-disabled downstream ports is enabled.
    To disable auto-recovery, use the no downstream auto-recover command.
  5. (Optional) Enter a text description of the uplink-state group.
    UPLINK-STATE-GROUP mode
    description text
    The maximum length is 80 alphanumeric characters.
  6. (Optional) Disable upstream-link tracking without deleting the uplink-state group.
    UPLINK-STATE-GROUP mode
    no enable
    The default is upstream-link tracking is automatically enabled in an uplink-state group.
    To re-enable upstream-link tracking, use the enable command.
