Re: Tracking

dumlutimuralp · ‎03-25-2009

Hi all,

What happens if I install two routes like

ip route 1.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 2.2.2.2 track100

and

ip route 1.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 3.3.3.3 track 120

and if both tracks are in "UP" state ?

Is equal cost load balancing taken into account on Cisco router ?

Also I noticed that when I install two routes like

ip route 1.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 2.2.2.2 (without track)

and

ip route 1.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 2.2.2.2 track 123

which route is installed ? if tracking is up, do both routes get installed ?

Thanks in advance.

Hello Dumlu,

good question

documentation talks of a primary route (tracked) and a secondary route (floating and not tracked)

to be noted that you cannot specify an AD on a static route with track option enabled.

However, if you don't use local policy you probably can use both but it is something to be tested.

see

Hope to help

Hi Giuseppe,

Thanks for the answer but on a Cisco 3750 Ive just been able to add a static route both with an AD and a track ???

Hello Dumlu,

yes you have been able to set AD to 10 and to add a tracking option

A collegue of mine had tried to configure on a c2811

But I see it is possible on another c2811 we have in production

ip route 1.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 tunnel18 210 track ?

<1-500> tracked object number

or also as

ip route 1.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 tunnel18 track 100 ?

<1-255> Distance metric for this route

name Specify name of the next hop

tag Set tag for this route

System image file is "flash:c2800nm-adventerprisek9-mz.124-7a.bin"

So my note is wrong or release dependent

Thanks for your feedback this could open to the possibility of a multi-level hierarchy of tracked static routes.

Hope to help

Giuseppe

Hi again,

Well Guiseppe I am still just curious if it does load balancing in case both tracks are up :)
