Imagine on SWITCH-4500, I want to send traffic from network 10.10.52.0/30 to next hop 10.10.52.100/30. Then I want to ping 'next hop' to make sure it is not down so that I can make PBR stop sending traffic if is down. How can I accomplish that? So far I have done the first step:
route-map ROUTEHOPPOP
set ip next-hop 10.10.52.100
match ip address 101
access-list 100 permit 10.10.52.0 0.0.0.3.0

Perhaps tracking is the way to go...
15. set ip next-hop verify-availability [next-hop-address sequence track object]

Yes you can do this. Note that if you just use verify-availability then the router uses CDP to verify that the next-hop is up which may or may not be what you want. If you don't want that then you can use tracking with this command as well.

Hi,
I think you could use ip sla to track the next hop.

As an additional remark to the previous posts: you can also add a backup next-hop in your route-map which will be used in case your primary next-hop is down:
set ip next-hop 10.10.52.100 10.10.52.101
where 10.10.52.101 is your backup next hop.
