Administrator Guide
When you configure IPv4 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 address resolution protocol (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 if the next-hop address appears before considering the route
DOWN.

Commands
● show track – displays information about tracked objects, including configuration, current state, and
clients which track the object.
● track ip route metric threshold – configures object tracking on the threshold of an IPv4 route metric.
track reachability refresh
Change the refresh interval for tracking the reachability of the next-hop. If the next-hop address in the ARP cache ages out for
a route tracked for its reachability, an attempt is made to check if the next-hop address is reachable after a certain refresh
interval before considering the route DOWN.
Syntax
track reachability refresh interval
Parameters
interval
Enter the refresh interval, in seconds, for object tracking reachability. The range is
from 0 to 60 seconds. The default is 60.
