To congure object tracking on the routing status of a Layer 3 interface, use the following commands.
1 Congure object tracking on the routing status of an IPv4 or IPv6 interface.
CONFIGURATION mode
track object-id interface interface {ip routing | ipv6 routing}
Valid object IDs are from 1 to 65535.
2 (Optional) Congure the time delay used before communicating a change in the status of a tracked interface.
OBJECT TRACKING mode
delay {[up seconds] [down seconds]}
Valid delay times are from 0 to 180 seconds.
The default is 0.
3 (Optional) Identify the tracked object with a text description.
OBJECT TRACKING mode
description text
The text string can be up to 80 characters.
4 (Optional) Display the tracking conguration and the tracked object’s status.
EXEC Privilege mode

Examples of Conguring Object Tracking for an IPv4 or IPv6 Interface
The following is an example of conguring object tracking for an IPv4 interface:
Dell(conf)#track 101 interface gigabitethernet 1/2 ip routing
Dell(conf-track-101)#delay up 20
Dell(conf-track-101)#description NYC metro
Dell(conf-track-101)#end
Dell#show track 101
Track 101
Interface GigabitEthernet 7/2 ip routing
Description: NYC metro
The following is an example of conguring object tracking for an IPv6 interface:
Dell(conf)#track 103 interface gigabitethernet 1/11 ipv6
routing
Dell(conf-track-103)#description Austin access point
Dell(conf-track-103)#end
Dell#show track 103
Track 103
Interface GigabitEthernet 7/11 ipv6 routing
Description: Austin access point
Track an IPv4/IPv6 Route
You can create an object that tracks the reachability or metric of an IPv4 or IPv6 route.
You specify the route to be tracked by its address and prex-length values. Optionally, for an IPv4 route, you can enter a VRF instance
name if the route is part of a VPN routing and forwarding (VRF) table. The next-hop address is not part of the denition of a tracked IPv4/
IPv6 route.
