Usage
Information
Use this command to create an object that tracks the reachability of an IPv4 route. In order for a route’s
reachability 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 prefix length match a table entry. For example, when configured as a tracked route, 10.0.0.0/24 does
not match the routing table entry 10.0.0.0/8. If no route-table entry has the exact IPv4 address and
prefix length, the status of the tracked route is considered to be DOWN.
When you configure IPv4 route reachability as a tracked object, the UP/DOWN state of the tracked route
is also determined by the entry of the next-hop address in the ARP cache. A tracked route is considered
to be reachable if there is an ARP cache entry for the route's next-hop address.
If the next-hop address in the ARP cache ages out for a route tracked for its reachability, an attempt is
made to regenerate the ARP cache entry to if the next-hop address appears before considering the route
DOWN.

Usage
Information
Use this command to configure the protocol-specific resolution value that converts the actual metric of
an IPv4 route in the routing table to a scaled metric in the range 0 to 255.
The UP/DOWN state of a tracked IPv4 route is determined by a user-configurable threshold (the
threshold metric command) for the route’s 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 protocol-specific resolution value calculates the scaled metric by dividing a route's cost by the
resolution value set for the route protocol:
