To create a tracking and failure detection process for a gateway or host, use the ft
track host command in configuration mode. The syntax of this command is:
ft track host name
For the name argument, enter a unique identifier of the tracking process as an
unquoted text string with no spaces and a maximum of 64 alphanumeric
characters.
For example, to create a tracking process for a gateway, enter:
host1/Admin(config)# ft track host TRACK_GATEWAY1
host1/Admin(config-ft-track-host)#
To remove the gateway-tracking process, enter:
host1/Admin(config)# no ft track host TRACK_GATEWAY1
To allow the active member to track a gateway or host, you need to configure the
IP address of the gateway or host. To configure the IP address, use the track-host
command in FT track host configuration mode. The syntax of this command is:
track-host ip_address
The ip_address argument specifies the IP address of the gateway or host that you
want the active FT group member to track. Enter the IP address in dotted-decimal
notation (for example, 192.168.12.101).
For example, to track the gateway located at 192.168.12.101, enter:
host1/Admin(config-ft-track-host)# track-host 192.168.12.101
