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.
