ESRP Ping Tracking

You can configure ESRP (Extreme Standby Router Protocol) to track connectivity using a simple ping to any IPv4 device. This may represent the default route of the switch, or any device meaningful to network connectivity of the master ESRP switch. The switch automatically relinquishes master status and remains in slave mode if a ping keepalive fails. You can configure a maximum of eight ping tracks.
Note

Note

ESRP ping tracking is not supported for IPv6 destinations. The ESRP ping tracking option cannot be configured to ping an IP address within an ESRP VLAN (Virtual LAN) subnet. It should be configured on some other normal VLAN across the router boundary.
