Configures an ESRP (Extreme Standby Router Protocol) domain to track an external gateway using ping.
| esrpDomain | Specifies an ESRP domain name. |
| ipaddress | Specifies the IPv4 address of the external gateway. |
| frequency | Specifies setting the interval between ping requests. |
| seconds | Sets the value for the interval in seconds between ping requests. The range is 1 to 600 seconds. Default is 15. |
| miss | Specifies the number of consecutive ping fails required for tracking fail. |
| misses | Sets the number of consecutive failed pings to declare tracking has failed. Range is 1 to 256. Default is 4. |
| success | Specifies setting the number of consecutive ping successes required for tracking success. |
| successes | Sets the number of consecutive successful pings to declare tracking has succeeded. Range is 1 to 256. Default is 4. |
No ping tracking.
Ping successes required for tracking to succeed is 4 by default.
Ping fails required for tracking to fails is 4 by default.
The interval between ping requests is 15 seconds by default.
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.
To change any of the options for track-ping, you must delete track-ping on the ESRP domain (configure esrp esrpDomain delete track-ping ipaddress ), and then configure it as desired.
To view track-ping options, use the command show esrp { {name} | {type [vpls-redundancy | standard]} } .
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.
The success option was added in ExtremeXOS 22.6.
This command is available on the Summit X450-G2, X460-G2, X670-G2, X770, and ExtremeSwitching X440-G2, X590, X620, X690, X870 series switches.
