track resolution ipv6 route
Configure the protocol-specific resolution value used to scale an IPv6 route metric.
C9000 Series
Syntax
track resolution ipv6 route {isis resolution-value | ospf resolution-value}
To return to the default setting, use the no track object-id command.
Parameters
object-id Enter the ID number of the tracked object. The range is from 1 to 500.
isis resolution-
value
Enter the resolution used to convert the metric in the routing table for ISIS routes
to a scaled metric.
ospf resolution-
value
Enter the resolution used to convert the metric in the routing table for OSPF
routes to a scaled metric.
Defaults none

Usage
Information
Use this command to configure the protocol-specific resolution value that converts the actual metric of
an IPv6 route in the routing table to a scaled metric in the range of 0 to 255.
The UP/DOWN state of a tracked IPv6 route is determined by the user-configurable threshold (the
threshold metric command) for a route’s metric in the routing table. To provide a common tracking
interface for different clients, route metrics are scaled in the range of 0 to 255, where 0 is connected and
255 is inaccessible.
The protocol-specific resolution value calculates the scaled metric by dividing a route's cost by the
resolution value set for the route protocol:
● For ISIS, you can set the resolution in the range of 1 to 1000, where the default is 10.
● For OSPF, you can set the resolution in the range of 1 to 1592, where the default is 1.
● You cannot configure the resolution value used to map static routes. By default, Dell Networking OS
assigns a metric of 0 to static routes.
● You cannot configure the resolution value used to map RIP routes. The RIP hop-count is automatically
multiplied by 16 to scale it. For example, a RIP metric of 16 (unreachable) scales to 256, which
considers the route to be DOWN.
