3750 - Object tracking

[PAUL CHEN]

Hi,

Does anyone know if the 3750 standard image supports object tracking ?

I have 2 floors in a building with each floor having a single WAN link out to a mpls cloud.

I planning to have a L3 link between the 2 core switches on the 2 different floors and use static routing backup with object tracking for WAN link redundancy.

Has anyone tried this yet ?

Your help is much appreciated.

Hi Paul,

Object tracking is supported in IP Base image

IP Base is a baseline set of Layer 2 and Layer 3 Cisco IOS Software services required to operate Cisco Switches. IP Base includes all the features of LAN Base, plus Edge IP Routing (Static, RIP, EIGRP-STUB & Basic PIM), HSRP/ VRRP, and GRE Tunneling.

Paul,

3750 does supports the object tracking feature at this point of time. 3750's supports HSRP with enchanced object tracking strating from 12.2.25SE. 3750's also support PBR with enhanced object tracking. Please see the link below:

3750's will support IOS IP SLA's in the new upcoming release and then you can use all the avialble functions.

Amit,

I can't use HSRP because it is 2 separate LANs. So does that mean that object tracking alone is not supported ?

I suppose I can still use PBR with object tracking ?

Thanks for the reply. By the way, tell me how to go about rating your replies
