Configures an ESRP domain to track an external gateway using ping.
| esrpDomain | Specifies an ESRP domain name. |
| ipaddress | Specifies the IPv4 address of the external gateway. |
| seconds | Specifies the interval in seconds between ping requests. The range is 1 to 600 seconds. |
| misses | Specifies the number of consecutive ping failures that initiates failover to an ESRP slave. The range is 1 to 256 pings. |
No ping tracking.
The tracked-ping metric consists of the total number of stations that are successfully tracked using ping. ESRP uses an aggregate of tracked pings and traced routes to track an external gateway.
An ESRP domain can track eight stations.
Note
ESRP ping tracking is not supported on IPv6 networks.
The following command enables ping tracking for the external gateway at 10.207.29.17, pinging every 10 seconds, and considering the gateway to be unreachable if no response is received to 5 consecutive pings:
configure esrp esrp1 add track-ping 10.207.29.17 frequency 10 miss 5
This command was first available in ExtremeXOS 11.0.
This command is available on all platforms.
