Sun Ethernet Fabric Operating System Uplink Port Trailing Protocol

Uplink Port Trailing monitors the state of uplink ports to manage downlink ports. If an uplink goes down, Uplink Port Trailing shuts down related downlink ports, allowing the server's High Availability features to switch over to an alternate uplink port. When an uplink is restored to service, the related downlink ports are also restored.

This feature is supported on all Oracle Ethernet rack and blade switches.
