How to track BGP session instead of "ip routing"?

As documented below when the "ip routing" goes down on interface Vlan20 the vrrp #1 decrements by 80 due to object tracking #3.  Now a problem has occurred where the BGP session for interface Vlan20 has gone down but "ip routing" staid up.  Any suggestions on how to track the BGP session instead of "ip routing" on interface Vlan20?

Hello

I dont really think you can do the tracking for BGP session directly using track object like you can do for ip routing but you can definitely configure a IP SLA probe to check reachability for the BGP peering IP and then integrate with track object.

Here is one good example of IP SLA with tracking object:

You can also configure an EEM script to perform certain actions when a BGP down notification is received, This way you may come to know if BGP session has gone down or stayed up.

Hope this helps
