Interface tracking
You can create an object that tracks the line-protocol state of an L2 interface, and monitors its operational up or down status.
You can configure up to 500 objects. Each object is assigned a unique ID.
When the link-level status goes down, the tracked resource status is also considered Down. If the link-level status goes up, the
tracked resource status is also considered Up. For logical interfaces such as port-channels or VLANs, the link-protocol status is
considered Up if any physical interface under the logical interface is Up.
The list of available interfaces include:
ethernet Physical interface
port-channel Port-channel identifier
VLAN Virtual local area network (VLAN) identifer
Loopback Loopback interface identifier
mgmt Management interface
1. Configure object tracking in CONFIGURATION mode, from 1 to 500.

2. (Optional) Enter interface object tracking on the line-protocol state of an L2 interface in OBJECT TRACKING mode.

3. (Optional) Configure the time delay used before communicating a change to the status of a tracked interface in OBJECT
TRACKING mode, from 0 to 80 seconds; default 0.

Host tracking
If you configure an IP host as a tracked object, the entry or next-hop address in the ARP cache determines the Up or Down
state of the route.
A tracked host is reachable if there is an ARP cache entry for the router's next-hop address. An attempt to regenerate the ARP
cache entry occurs if the next-hop address appears before considering the route Down.
