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
prefix length match a table entry. For example, when configured 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 prefix length, the tracked route is considered to be DOWN.
When you configure 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.

Commands
● show track ipv6 route – displays information about tracked IPv6 routes, including configuration,
current state, and clients which track the route.
● track ipv6 route reachability – configures object tracking on the reachability of an IPv4 route.
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.
