Tracking

4 Tracking
The tracking function gives you the option of monitoring certain objects, such
as the availability of an interface.
A special feature of this function is that it forwards an object status change to
an application, e.g. VRRP, which previously registered as an interested party
for this information.
Tracking can monitor the following objects:
Connection status of an interface (interface tracking)
Accessibility of a device (ping tracking, planned for rel. 4.2)
An object can have the following statuses:
up (OK)
down (not OK)
The definition of "up" and "down" depends on the type of the tracking object
(e.g. interface tracking).
Tracking can forward the status changes of an object to the following appli-
cations:
VRRP (see on page
Static routing (planned for rel. 4.2)
The Switch supports up to 256 tracking objects (track ID: 1 to 256).
