Version Description
9.7(0.0) Introduced on the M I/O Aggregator.
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 prex length
match a table entry. For example, when congured 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 prex length, the
tracked route is considered to be DOWN.
When you congure 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.

track resolution ipv6 route
Congure the protocol-specic resolution value used to scale an IPv6 route metric.
Syntax
track resolution ipv6 route {isis resolution-value | ospf resolution-value}
To return to the default setting, use the no track object-id command.
Parameters
object-id Enter the ID number of the tracked object. Use the range to 1 to 500.
isis resolution-value Enter the resolution used to convert the metric in the routing table for ISIS routes to a
scaled metric.
ospf resolution-
value
Enter the resolution used to convert the metric in the routing table for OSPF routes to a
scaled metric.
