track ip route command

[hanwucisco]

I've configured a very simple scenario, why is it showing the is UP?

R1----R2, ip add 1.1.1.1 is a loop interface on r1.

on R2,

track 10 ip route 1.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 metric threshold

threshold metric up 99 down 100

and

ip route 1.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 1.1.12.1 250

but, the show track indicate it is up.

R2#sh track

Track 10

  IP route 1.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 metric threshold

  Metric threshold is Up (static/0/1)======================>why is it up?

    7 changes, last change 00:05:33

  Metric threshold down 100 up 99

  First-hop interface is Serial0/0

thanks,

Han

It seems you are comparing your metric track with the admin distance of the route, those are different things.

Yes, I assuem it is the AD. But it isnt, what it could be? I mean how can you compare the metrics from different protocols? and in IOS, there is a range for this paramenter, 0-255.

thanks,
