Configuring A Tracked List With A Percentage Threshold - Cisco Catalyst 3120 Software Manual

Chapter 42 Configuring Enhanced Object Tracking
Beginning in privileged EXEC mode, follow these steps to configure a tracked list of objects by using a
weight threshold and to configure a weight for each object:
Command
Step 1 configure terminal
Step 2
track track-number list threshold
weight
Step 3
object object-number [weight
weight-number]
Step 4 threshold weight {up number |
[down number]}
Step 5 delay {up seconds [down seconds] |
[up seconds] down seconds}
Step 6
end
Step 7
show track object-number
Step 8
copy running-config startup-config (Optional) Save your entries in the configuration file.
Use the no track track-number global configuration command to delete the tracked list.
The example configures track list 4 to track by weight threshold. If object 1 and object 2 are down, then
track list 4 is up because object 3 satisfies the up threshold value of up 30. But if object 3 is down, both
objects 1 and 2 must be up in order to satisfy the threshold weight.
Switch(config)# track 4 list threshold weight
Switch(config-track)# object 1 weight 15
Switch(config-track)# object 2 weight 20
Switch(config-track)# object 3 weight 30
Switch(config-track)# threshold weight up 30 down 10
Switch(config-track)# exit
This configuration can be useful if object 1 and object 2 represent two small bandwidth connections and
object 3 represents one large bandwidth connection. The configured down 10 value means that once the
tracked object is up, it will not go down until the threshold value is equal to or lower than 10, which in
this example means that all connections are down.

Configuring a Tracked List with a Percentage Threshold

To track by percentage threshold, configure a tracked list of objects, specify that a percentage will be
used as the threshold, and specify a percentage for all objects in the list. The state of the list is determined
by comparing the assigned percentage of each object to the list.
You cannot use the Boolean "NOT" operator in a percentage threshold list.

Purpose
Enter global configuration mode.
Configure a tracked list object and enter tracking configuration mode. The
track-number can be from 1 to 500.
• threshold—Specify the state of the tracked list based on a threshold.
• weight—Specify that the threshold is based on weight.
Specify the object to be tracked. The range is from 1 to 500. The optional
weight weight-number specifies a threshold weight for the object. The range
is from 1 to 255.
Note An object must exist before you can add it to a tracked list.
Specify the threshold weight.
up number—The valid range is from 1 to 255.
•
down number—(Optional) The range depends on the number selected
•
for the up number. If you configure the up number as 25, the range
shown for the down number is 0 to 24.
(Optional) Specify a period of time in seconds to delay communicating state
changes of a tracked object. The range is from 1 to 180 seconds.
Return to privileged EXEC mode.
Verify that the specified objects are being tracked.
