Information
When this command is configured, the VLAN is operationally UP if any of the 
interfaces specified in the 
track ip command are operationally UP, and the VLAN is 
operationally DOWN if none of the tracking interfaces are operationally UP. 
If the 
track ip command is not configured, the VLAN's Layer 3 operational state 
depends on all the members of the VLAN. 
The Layer 2 state of the VLAN, and hence the Layer 2 traffic is not affected by the 
track ip command configuration.
