Configuring Enhanced Object Tracking
This chapter describes how to configure enhanced object tracking on the Catalyst 4500 series switch.
This feature provides a more complete alternative to the Hot Standby Routing Protocol (HSRP) tracking
mechanism. which allows you to track the line-protocol state of an interface. If the line protocol state of
an interface goes down, the HSRP priority of the interface is reduced and another HSRP device with a
higher priority becomes active. The enhanced object tracking feature separates the tracking mechanism
from HSRP and creates a separate, standalone tracking process that can be used by processes other than
HSRP. This allows tracking other objects in addition to the interface line-protocol state. A client process,
such as HSRP, can register an interest in tracking objects and request notification when the tracked object
changes state.This feature increases the availability and speed of recovery of a routing system and
decreases outages and outage duration.
Enhanced object tracking is not supported on switches running the LAN base feature set.
