track ipv6 route reachability
Configure object tracking on the reachability of an IPv6 route.
Syntax
track object-id ipv6 route ip-address/prefix-len reachability
To return to the default setting, use the no track object-id command.
Parameters
object-id Enter the ID number of the tracked object. The range is from 1 to 500.
ipv6-address/
prefix-len
Enter an IPv6 address in X:X:X:X::X format. The valid IPv6 prefix lengths are
from /0 to / 128.
Defaults none

Usage
Information
Use this command to create an object that tracks the reachability of an IPv6 route. In order for a route’s
reachability to be tracked, the route must appear as an entry in the routing table.
A tracked route is considered to match an entry in the routing table only if the exact IPv6 address and
prefix length match a table entry. For example, when configured as a tracked route,
3333:100:200:300:400::/80 does not match routing table entry 3333:100:200:300::/64. If no route-table
entry has the exact IPv6 address and prefix length, the tracked route is considered to be DOWN.
When you configure IPv6 route reachability as a tracked object, the UP/DOWN state of the tracked route
is also determined by the entry of the next-hop address in the ARP cache. A tracked route is considered
to be reachable if there is an ARP cache entry for the route's next-hop address.
If the next-hop address in the ARP cache ages out for a route tracked for its reachability, an attempt is
made to regenerate the ARP cache entry to if the next-hop address appears before considering the route
DOWN.
