Usage Information
Use this command to create an object that tracks the UP and/or DOWN threshold of an IPv4 route metric. In order
for a route's metric to be tracked, the route must appear as an entry in the routing table.
A tracked IPv4 route is considered to match an entry in the routing table only if the exact IPv4 address and prefix
length match a table entry. For example, when configured as a tracked route, 10.0.0.0/24 does not match the
routing table entry 10.0.0.0/8. If no route-table entry has the exact IPv4 address and prefix length, the status of the
tracked route is considered to be DOWN.
When you configure the threshold of an IPv4 route metric as a tracked object, the UP/DOWN state of the tracked
route is also determined by the current metric for the route in the routing table.
To provide a common tracking interface for different clients, route metrics are scaled in the range 0 to 255, where
0 is connected and 255 is inaccessible. The scaled metric value communicated to a client always considers a lower
value to have priority over a higher value. The resulting scaled value is compared against the configured threshold
values to determine the state of a tracked route as follows:
•
•
You configure the UP and DOWN thresholds for each tracked route by using the threshold metric command.
The default UP threshold is 254; the default DOWN threshold is 255. The notification of a change in the state of a
tracked object is sent when a metric value crosses a configured threshold.

If the scaled metric for a route entry is less than or equal to the UP threshold, the state of a route is UP.
If the scaled metric for a route is greater than or equal to the DOWN threshold or the route is not entered in
the routing table, the state of a route is DOWN.
show track – display information about tracked objects, including configuration, current state, and clients which
track the object.
threshold metric – configure the metric threshold used to determine the UP and/or DOWN state of a tracked
route.
track resolution ip route – configure the protocol-specific resolution value used to scale an IPv4 route metric.
Enter the ID number of the tracked object. The range is 1 to 500.
Enter an IPv4 address in dotted decimal format. The valid IPv4 prefix lengths are from /0
to /32.
