IPv6 Route Tracking Missing?

[geekmungus]

Hi,

I'm trying to enable IPv6 static route tracking to a 6500 and 4500 series switches, but I can't seem to find any support for it in any IOS, the Cisco feature navigator doesn't really give any indication of if it is or isn't supported.

To start the investigation, I've upgraded the IOS of my WS-C4510R-E to: cat4500e-entservicesk9-mz.150-2.SG8.bin

But when trying to add a tracked static route:

Switch(config)#ipv6 route ::/0 2001:cafe:cafe:cafe::1 ?
  <1-254>      Administrative distance
  multicast    Route only usable by multicast
  nexthop-vrf  Nexthop IPv6 VRF
  tag          Tag value
  unicast      Route only usable by unicast
  <cr>

As you can see track command is missing, but exists for IPv4 which we are using already.

Does anyone know if this even possible? Has anyone else got IPv6 static route object tracking enabled? And if so what IOS were you running?

Thanks

Tristan

Hi Tristan,

You can follow this guide to configure ipv6 route tracking:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/ios-xml/ios/ipapp/configuration/15-s/iap-15-s-book/iap-ipv6-route-track.html

According the Cisco Feature Navigator, is only supported on IOS starting on 15.2E and on IOS-XE starting on 3.10S

Hi eduardopozo56,

thanks I've just had a quick look at that document and that does appear to support it as a brand new feature in 15.2, i'll see about obtaining that IOS to check for it.

Thanks
