A switch provides upstream connectivity for devices, such as servers. If the switch loses upstream connectivity, the downstream devices also lose connectivity. However, the downstream devices do not generally receive an indication that the upstream connectivity was lost because connectivity to the switch is still operational. To solve this issue, use UFD. UFD associates downstream interfaces with upstream interfaces. When upstream connectivity fails, the switch operationally disables its downstream links. Failures on the upstream links allow downstream devices to recognize the loss of upstream connectivity. This allows the downstream servers to select alternate paths, if available, to send traffic to upstream devices. UFD creates an association between upstream and downstream interfaces known as uplink-state group. An interface in an uplink-state group can be a physical Ethernet or fibre channel interface or a port-channel. An enabled uplink-state group tracks the state of all assigned upstream interfaces. The failure of upstream interfaces results in automatic disabling of downstream interfaces in the uplink-state group, as shown in the following illustration. By default, if all the upstream interfaces in an uplink-state group go down, all the downstream interfaces in the same uplink-state group are set into a link-down state. 492 System management
