Track Takes An Inappropriate Action - HP 7102dl - ProCurve Secure Router Configuration Manual

Reasons for this problem include:
Track not associated with a route—Check which routes the track is
monitoring with the show track <name> command. If the track is not
monitoring any routes, it cannot remove a failed route. You must enter the
track option with one of these commands:
• ip route
• ip address dhcp
• ip address negotiated
One reason that the track option might fail to appear is that you attempted
to add it to a route that already exists, but did not enter exactly the same
route.
Track not enabled to log changes—View tracks' configuration (show
running-config track) and check for the log-changes command. If you
want to view logs on a remote server, verify that log forwarding is enabled.
Probes have not been activated—By default, probes are shut down and
fixed in the Pass state. Unless you activate the probes associated with the
track, the track never changes state and takes action no matter what the
network conditions. To activate a probe, move to the network probe
configuration mode context and enter no shutdown.
Multiple probes specified with the wrong option—When you want a track
to fail when either probe fails, remember to use the and option when
specifying the probes. The track then passes only when both the first and
second probe pass.
Track's dampening interval set inappropriately long—Check the dampen-
ing interval (in seconds) by entering show track <name>.
Probe's period or timeout set inappropriately long—Check these settings
by entering show probe <name>.

Track Takes an Inappropriate Action

A track that takes action when it should not can be as dangerous as one that
fails to take action, particularly when you have tied the track to a route. Even
when a track simply logs changes, you want these logs to be accurate.
Check for these misconfigurations:
Track shutdown—An inactive track automatically fails and, if so config-
ured, removes the associated route. Therefore, if you want to remove a
track from the router, delete it entirely (no track <name>) instead of
shutting it down. If you want to disable the track temporarily, disable the
track's probes, but not the track itself.
