Object Tracking
Object Tracking supports IPv4 and IPv6, and is available on the Dell Networking, C-Series, E-Series, S-Series, and S4810
platforms.
Object tracking allows you to define objects of interest, monitor their state, and report to a client when a change in an object’s
state occurs. The following tracked objects are supported:
● Link status of Layer 2 interfaces
● Routing status of Layer 3 interfaces (IPv4 and IPv6)
● Reachability of IPv4 and IPv6 routes
● Metric thresholds of IPv4 and IPv6 routes
You can configure client applications, such virtual router redundancy protocol (VRRP), to receive a notification when the state
of a tracked object changes.
This chapter contains the following sections:
● IPv4 Object Tracking Commands
