Use this command to configure the protocol-specific resolution value that converts the actual metric of an IPv6 route in the routing table to a scaled metric in the range 0 to 255.

The UP/DOWN state of a tracked IPv6 route is determined by the user- configurable threshold (the threshold metric command) for a route’s metric 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 protocol-specific resolution value calculates the scaled metric by dividing a route's cost by the resolution value set for the route protocol:

•For ISIS, you can set the resolution in the range 1 to 1000, where the default is 10.

•For OSPF, you can set the resolution in the range 1 to 1592, where the default is 1.

•The resolution value used to map static routes is not configurable. By default, Dell Networking OS assigns a metric of 0 to static routes.

•The resolution value used to map RIP routes is not configurable. The RIP hop- count is automatically multiplied by 16 to scale it. For example, a RIP metric of 16 (unreachable) scales to 256, which considers the route to be DOWN.

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

•track ipv6 route metric threshold – configures object tracking on the threshold of an IPv6 route metric.
