Cisco Catalyst IP DEVICE TRACKING

[jspichalla]

Hi All,

I want to disable the device tracking on my Access Switches 3650 with software version 16.3.6

I don´t unterstand the documentation of the following link

https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst3650/software/release/16-1/configuration_guide/b_161_consolidated_3650_cg/b_161_consolidated_3650_cg_chapter_01001010.html#reference_xfl_qx1_xcb

If I turn off this feature, I must configure a policy-map? And on with interfaces I must apply this policy-map?

Many Thanks

Jens

IP Device Tracking is disabled, globally and interface-level, by default. If the command is not present in the configuration then it's not enabled.
No, a policy-map is not required to use this feature.

Hi Leo,

thanks for your response. The customer see a lot of entries under the command "show ip device tracking".

Maybe it's because the client didn't specify the interface.

Hello Js,

The documentation is correct.

* We used the steps below to disable the IPDT in the trunk ports (uplinks)

1. Define a policy.
   Device# config terminal
   Device(config)# device-tracking policy DT_trunk_policy
   Device(config-device-tracking)# trusted-port
   Device(config-device-tracking=# device-role switch
2. Attach the policy to the trunk port. You can apply the policy to an interface as well, if required.
   Device(config)# interface <trunk-port-interface>
   Device(config-if)# device-tracking attach-policy DT_trunk_policy

You can then check with the show device-tracking database command.

Regards,
