Verify the Uplink Port Trailing Feature

  1. Ping from Host-2 to a tagged interface on Host-1.

    The ping should go through.

  2. On ToR72p-1, check that the bond MAC address is learned on port channel 12.

  3. While the ping is going through, shut down the port connecting to NEM24p-0 on ToR72p-1.

    The ping should still go through.

  4. Verify the Uplink Port Trailing status on NEM24p-0.

    Since the uplink is down, the downlink will also be shut down by the feature.

  7. On ToR72p-1, check that the bond MAC address is learned on port channel 13.
