Dell 9.7(0.0) manual Track ipv6 route reachability

Related Commands

When you configure the threshold of an IPv6 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:

•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.

You configure the UP and DOWN thresholds for each tracked IPv6 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.

•show track ipv6 route – displays information about tracked IPv6 routes, including configuration, current state, and clients which track the route.

•threshold metric – configures the metric threshold used to determine the UP and/or DOWN state of a tracked route.

•track resolution ipv6 route – configures the protocol-specific resolution value used to scale an IPv6 route metric.
