Service Manual

Enter an IPv4 address in dotted decimal format. Valid IPv4 prex lengths are from /0 to /32.
Enter an IPv6 address in X:X:X:X::X format. Valid IPv6 prex lengths are from /0 to /128.
(Optional) E-Series only: For an IPv4 route, you can enter a VRF name.
3. (Optional) Congure the time delay used before communicating a change in the UP and/or DOWN status of a tracked route.
OBJECT TRACKING mode
delay {[up seconds] [down seconds]}
Valid delay times are from 0 to 180 seconds.
The default is 0.
4. (Optional) Identify the tracked object with a text description.
OBJECT TRACKING mode
description text
The text string can be up to 80 characters.
5. (Optional) Congure the metric threshold for the UP and/or DOWN routing status to be tracked for the specied route.
OBJECT TRACKING mode
threshold metric {[up number] [down number]}
The default UP threshold is 254. The routing state is UP if the scaled route metric is less than or equal to the UP threshold.
The defult DOWN threshold is 255. The routing state is DOWN if the scaled route metric is greater than or equal to the DOWN
threshold.
6. (Optional) Display the tracking conguration.
EXEC Privilege mode
show track object-id

Displaying Tracked Objects
To display the currently congured objects used to track Layer 2 and Layer 3 interfaces, and IPv4 and IPv6 routes, use the following
show commands.
To display the conguration and status of currently tracked Layer 2 or Layer 3 interfaces, IPv4 or IPv6 routes, or a VRF instance, use
the show track command. You can also display the currently congured per-protocol resolution values used to scale route metrics
when tracking metric thresholds.
