Tracking an IP route within a VRF

[pbelletty]

Hi Folks,

The command to track a route is 

track <track number> ip route <ip address> <mask> reachability

This assumes that the route is in the global routing table.

What if you want to track a route that is in a VRF. There does not appear to be a way of doing this as the above command is not vrf aware.

Any idea how this could be done?

Look forward to hearing from you.

Hi

If you are using IP SLA it should be included into the VRF as well.

Many thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately I am not using IP SLA as I do not wish to generate any additional traffic, I just want to monitor the existence of a route which I have already learnt via bgp.

Any other thoughts?

Regards,

Phil

Hi

I think I have found the solution.

After entering the track command you can enter a sub command to specify the vrf eg..

track 99 ip route 10.10.10.10 255.255.255.255 reachability
ip vrf red
!

This is configurable in version 15.2.4

I'll give it a try in a live environment and let you know how I get on.

Hello

You can do this in the track command it self

example:
ip vrf stan
 rd 1:10

track 10 ip route 1.1.1.1/32 reachability
 ip vrf stan
