Configuring a track list

Last Updated : Apr 10, 2018 |

Procedure

  1. Use the track id list command to enter track list configuration mode, to specify the unique ID of the track list from 1 to 50, and to specify how to calculate the state of the track list.

    The calculation can be either a Boolean or a Threshold calculation.

    Note:

    If you do not specify how to calculate the state of the track list, it is calculated by default using the Boolean AND argument. This means that the list is up if all objects are up, and down if one or more of the objects are down.

    Examples:

    Gxxx-001(config-track list 10)# description track list rtr-5 and rtr-6
    Done!
    Gxxx-001(config)# track 10 list boolean or
    Gxxx-001(config-track list 10)#
  2. Use the description command to enter a description for the track list.
  3. Use the object command to add an object tracker to the list.
    Note:

    The object tracker can be a simple one tracking a single RTR, or a track list.

    For example:

    Gxxx-001(config-track list 10)# object 1
    Done!
  4. Repeat step 3 to add as many object trackers as you require, up to a maximum of 50.
  5. If you specified a Threshold method of calculation in step 1, use the threshold count command to enter the threshold values.

    For example, use the following command to specify that:

    • The state of the object tracker will change from down to up if 2 or more hosts are up, and

    • The state of the object tracker will change from up to down if 1 or less hosts are up

    • Gxxx-001(config-track list 10)# threshold count up 2 down 1
      Done!
    Note:

    Object trackers operate indefinitely once they are defined. To stop the operation of an object tracker, use the no track command to delete the object tracker.
