8.3.12.0 Introduced on the S4810.
8.4.1.0 Introduced.
Usage Information
Use this command to create an object that tracks the line-protocol state of a Layer 2 interface by monitoring
its operational status (UP or DOWN).
When the link-level status goes down, the tracked object status is considered to be DOWN; if the link-level
status is up, the tracked object status is considered to be UP.
Related Commands
• show track – displays information about tracked objects, including conguration, current state, and
clients which track the object.
• track interface ip routing – congures object tracking on the routing status of an IPv4 Layer 3 interface.
track ip route metric threshold
Congure object tracking on the threshold of an IPv4 route metric.
Syntax
track object-id ip route ip-address/prefix-len metric threshold [vrf vrf-
name]
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 1 to 500.
ip-address/ prex-
len
Enter an IPv4 address in dotted decimal format. The valid IPv4 prex lengths are
from /0 to /32.
vrf vrf-name (Optional) E-Series only: You can congure a VPN routing and forwarding (VRF)
instance to specify the virtual routing table to which the tracked route belongs.
Defaults none

Usage Information
Use this command to create an object that tracks the UP and/or DOWN threshold of an IPv4 route metric.
In order for a route’s metric to be tracked, the route must appear as an entry in the routing table.
A tracked IPv4 route is considered to match an entry in the routing table only if the exact IPv4 address and
prex length match a table entry. For example, when congured as a tracked route, 10.0.0.0/24 does not
