Setup Guide
For an IPv6 interface, a routing object only tracks the UP/DOWN status of the specied IPv6 interface (the track interface ipv6-
routing command).
• The status of an IPv6 interface is UP only if the Layer 2 status of the interface is UP and the interface has a valid IPv6 address.
• The Layer 3 status of an IPv6 interface goes DOWN when its Layer 2 status goes down (for a Layer 3 VLAN, all VLAN ports must be
down) or the IPv6 address is removed from the routing table.
To remove object tracking on a Layer 3 IPv4/IPv6 interface, use the no track object-id command.
To congure object tracking on the routing status of a Layer 3 interface, use the following commands.
1 Congure object tracking on the routing status of an IPv4 or IPv6 interface.
CONFIGURATION mode
track object-id interface interface {ip routing | ipv6 routing}
Valid object IDs are from 1 to 500.
2 (Optional) Congure the time delay used before communicating a change in the status of a tracked interface.
OBJECT TRACKING mode
delay {[up seconds] [down seconds]}
Valid delay times are from 0 to 180 seconds.
The default is 0.
3 (Optional) Identify the tracked object with a text description.
OBJECT TRACKING mode
description text
The text string can be up to 80 characters.
4 (Optional) Display the tracking conguration and the tracked object’s status.
EXEC Privilege mode
show track object-id
Examples of Conguring Object Tracking for an IPv4 or IPv6 Interface
Examples of Conguring Object Tracking for an IPv4 or IPv6 Interface
The following is an example of conguring object tracking for an IPv4 interface:
DellEMC(conf)#track 101 interface gigabitethernet 1/2 ip routing
DellEMC(conf-track-101)#delay up 20
DellEMC(conf-track-101)#description NYC metro
DellEMC(conf-track-101)#end
DellEMC#show track 101
Track 101
Interface GigabitEthernet 7/2 ip routing
Description: NYC metro
The following is an example of conguring object tracking for an IPv6 interface:
DellEMC(conf)#track 103 interface gigabitethernet 1/11 ipv6
routing
DellEMC(conf-track-103)#description Austin access point
DellEMC(conf-track-103)#end
DellEMC#show track 103
Track 103
