Usage

Information

Use this command to configure the protocol-specific resolution value that converts the actual metric of

an IPv6 route in the routing table to a scaled metric in the range of 0 to 255.

The UP/DOWN state of a tracked IPv6 route is determined by the user-configurable threshold (the

threshold metric command) for a route’s metric in the routing table. To provide a common tracking

interface for different clients, route metrics are scaled in the range of 0 to 255, where 0 is connected and

255 is inaccessible.

The protocol-specific resolution value calculates the scaled metric by dividing a route's cost by the

resolution value set for the route protocol:

● For ISIS, you can set the resolution in the range of 1 to 1000, where the default is 10.

● For OSPF, you can set the resolution in the range of 1 to 1592, where the default is 1.

● You cannot configure the resolution value used to map static routes. By default, Dell Networking OS

assigns a metric of 0 to static routes.

● You cannot configure the resolution value used to map RIP routes. The RIP hop-count is automatically

multiplied by 16 to scale it. For example, a RIP metric of 16 (unreachable) scales to 256, which

considers the route to be DOWN.

Commands

● threshold metric – configures the metric threshold used to determine the UP and/or DOWN state of a

tracked route.

● track ipv6 route metric threshold – configures object tracking on the threshold of an IPv6 route

metric.
