Usage
Information
Use this command to configure the UP and/or DOWN threshold for the scaled metric of a tracked IPv4 or
IPv6 route.
Determine the UP/DOWN state of a tracked route by the threshold for the current value of the route
metric in the routing table. To provide a common tracking interface for different clients, route metrics
are scaled in the range 0 to 255, where 0 is connected and 255 is inaccessible. The scaled metric value
communicated to a client always considers a lower value to have priority over a higher value.
The resulting scaled value is compared against the configured threshold values to determine the state of a
tracked route as follows:
● If the scaled metric for a route entry is less than or equal to the UP threshold, the state of a route is
UP.
● If the scaled metric for a route is greater than or equal to the DOWN threshold or the route is not
entered in the routing table, the state of a route is DOWN.
Configure the UP and DOWN thresholds for each tracked route with the threshold metric
command. The default UP threshold is 254; the default DOWN threshold is 255. The notification of a
change in the state of a tracked object is sent when a metric value crosses a configured threshold.
The tracking process uses a protocol-specific resolution value to convert the actual metric in the routing
table to a scaled metric in the range 0 to 255. You can configure the resolution value used to scale route
metrics for supported protocols with the track resolution ip route and track resolution
ipv6 route commands.
