4. Associate Track with VRRP
VF.
 Associate a track entry with
the VRRP VF:
vrrp [ ipv6 ] vrid
virtual-router-id weight track
track-entry-number [ reduced
weight-reduced ]
 Configure the LVF to monitor
the AVF status through the
track entry:
vrrp [ ipv6 ] vrid
virtual-router-id track
track-entry-number
forwarder-switchover
member-ip ip-address
Use at least one command.
By default, no track entry is
specified for a VF.
This command is configurable
when VRRP is operating in
standard mode or load balancing
mode. However, this function
takes effect only when VRRP is
operating in load balancing
mode.
Associating Track with static routing
A static route is a manually configured route. With a static route configured, packets to the specified
destination are forwarded through the path specified by the administrator.
The disadvantage of using static routes is that they cannot adapt to network topology changes. Faults
or topological changes in the network can make the routes unreachable, causing network breaks.
To prevent this problem, configure another route to back up the static route. When the static route is
reachable, packets are forwarded through the static route. When the static route is unreachable,
packets are forwarded through the backup route, avoiding network breaks and enhancing network
reliability.
To check the accessibility of a static route in real time, establish association between the Track and
the static route.
If you specify the next hop but not the egress interface when configuring a static route, you can
establish collaborations among the static route, the Track module, and detection modules. This
enables you to check the accessibility of the static route by the status of the track entry.
 The Positive state of the track entry shows that the next hop of the static route is reachable, and
that the configured static route is valid.
 The Negative state of the track entry shows that the next hop of the static route is not reachable,
and that the configured static route is invalid.
 The Invalid state of the track entry shows that the accessibility of the next hop of the static route is
unknown, and that the static route is valid.
Follow these guidelines when you associate Track with static routing:
 You can associate a nonexistent track entry with a static route. The association takes effect only
after you use the track command to create the track entry.
 If the Track module detects the next hop accessibility of the static route in a private network
through NQA, the VPN instance name of the next hop of the static route must be consistent with
that configured for the NQA test group. Otherwise, accessibility detection cannot function
correctly.
 If a static route needs route recursion, the associated track entry must monitor the next hop of the
recursive route instead of that of the static route. Otherwise, a valid route might be considered
