"ip device tracking" is used by switch track existence of a host in switches
per l2 interface. This command is used with L2 IP NAC, which won't work
without it.

Understanding How Host Aging is Tracked

Layer 2 authentication features, 802.1x, and MAC authentication bypass
install entries into the CAM table to ensure packet switching in the
hardware. The CAM entries are static and it cannot be ensured that they are
current. The entries age with the hardware if they are not removed by the
authentication feature at the end of the session. If a host leaves before
the authentication session expires or if the authentication manager is not
notified about removing the CAM entry, the stale entry remains in the
hardware switching table. Even the Layer 3 protocols, LAN port IP and
Web-based proxy authentication have no method to age out the CAM entry if
the host leaves before the session expires.

The IP device-tracking feature, which is included in the authentication
manager, tracks the existence of the host and removes aged entries in the
CAM table. The device-tracking feature ensures that the hardware entries and
authentication sessions get aged out. As a result of aging, the hosts are
removed from the EARL.
