Usage Information
Use this command to configure the UP and/or DOWN threshold for the scaled metric of a tracked IPv4 or IPv6
route.
Determine the UP/DOWN state of a tracked route by the threshold for the current value of the route metric in
the routing table. To provide a common tracking interface for different clients, route metrics are scaled in the
range 0 to 255, where 0 is connected and 255 is inaccessible. The scaled metric value communicated to a client
always considers a lower value to have priority over a higher value.
The resulting scaled value is compared against the configured threshold values to determine the state of a tracked
route as follows:
• If the scaled metric for a route entry is less than or equal to the UP threshold, the state of a route is UP.
• If the scaled metric for a route is greater than or equal to the DOWN threshold or the route is not entered in
the routing table, the state of a route is DOWN.
Configure the UP and DOWN thresholds for each tracked route with the threshold metric command. The
default UP threshold is 254; the default DOWN threshold is 255. The notification of a change in the state of a
tracked object is sent when a metric value crosses a configured threshold.
The tracking process uses a protocol-specific resolution value to convert the actual metric in the routing table to a
scaled metric in the range 0 to 255. You can configure the resolution value used to scale route metrics for
supported protocols with the
track resolution ip route and track resolution ipv6 route
commands.
