Figure 89. Object Tracking Example
When you configure a tracked object, such as an IPv4/IPv6 a route or interface, you specify an object
number to identify the object. Optionally, you can also specify:
number to identify the object. Optionally, you can also specify:
• UP and DOWN thresholds used to report changes in a route metric.
• A time delay before changes in a tracked object’s state are reported to a client.
• A time delay before changes in a tracked object’s state are reported to a client.
Track Layer 2 Interfaces
You can create an object to track the line-protocol state of a Layer 2 interface. In this type of object
tracking, the link-level operational status (UP or DOWN) of the interface is monitored.
When the link-level status goes down, the tracked resource status is considered to be DOWN; if the link-
level status goes up, the tracked resource status is considered to be UP. For logical interfaces, such as
port-channels or virtual local area networks (VLANs), the link-protocol status is considered to be UP if any
physical interface under the logical interface is UP.
level status goes up, the tracked resource status is considered to be UP. For logical interfaces, such as
port-channels or virtual local area networks (VLANs), the link-protocol status is considered to be UP if any
physical interface under the logical interface is UP.
Track Layer 3 Interfaces
You can create an object that tracks the Layer 3 state (IPv4 or IPv6 routing status) of an interface.
• The Layer 3 status of an interface is UP only if the Layer 2 status of the interface is UP and the
interface has a valid IP address.
