Track an Interface or Object
Set FTOS to monitor the state of any interface according to the virtual group. Each VRRP group can track 
up to 12 interfaces, which may affect the priority of the VRRP group. If the tracked interface goes down, 
the VRRP group’s priority is decreased by a default value of 10 (also known as cost). If the tracked 
interface’s state goes up, the VRRP group’s priority is increased by 10.
Each VRRP group can track changes in the status of up to 12 interfaces and up to 20 additional objects, 
which may affect the priority of the VRRP group. If a tracked interface or object goes down, the VRRP 
group’s priority is decreased by a default value of 10 (also known as cost). If the state of a tracked interface 
or object goes up, the VRRP group’s priority is increased by 10.
The lowered priority of the VRRP group may trigger an election. As the MASTER/BACKUP VRRP 
routers are selected based on the VRRP group’s priority, tracking features ensure that the best VRRP router 
is the MASTER for that group. The sum of all the costs of all the tracked interfaces must be less than the 
configured priority on the VRRP group. If the VRRP group is configured as OWNER router (priority 255), 
tracking for that group is disabled, irrespective of the state of the tracked interfaces. The priority of the 
owner group always remains at 255.
For a virtual group, you can track the line-protocol state or the routing status of any of the following 
interfaces with the 
interface interface parameter:
• 40-Gigabit Ethernet: Enter 
fortygigabitethernet slot/port in the track interface command (refer to Step 1 
below).
• 10-Gigabit Ethernet: Enter 
tengigabitethernet slot/port.
• Port channel: Enter 
port-channel number, where valid port-channel numbers are: 1 to 128.
• VLAN: Enter 
vlan vlan-id, where valid VLAN IDs are from 1 to 4094.
