Configuring Tracks

A track can monitor:
remote devices, such as a main office's or service provider's router
servers running a TCP application
Web servers
Without network monitoring, the router has no means for detecting when a
static route fails at a remote point. The primary purpose of network monitor-
ing on the ProCurve Secure Router is to remove failed static routes so that the
router can begin forwarding traffic over a backup connection.
A track can enable and disable:
static routes
default routes and other configuration information received from a DHCP
server
default routes received with a negotiated address
You must complete these tasks to configure the track:
1. Create and name the track.
2. Specify the track's probes.
Optionally, you can configure the track to log changes in probes' statuses.
Finally, you should:
3. Associate the track with the route or routes that it must monitor.

Creating a Track

To create a track, from the global configuration mode context, enter:
Syntax: track <name>
Give the track a name that helps you to remember its purpose. For example,
if the track monitors your company's Web server, you might enter:
ProCurve(config)# track MyWebServer
