9.2.5 Applying Dynamic Monitoring

Before you can apply the dynamic monitoring functionality to static routes, you must set an appropriate interval for polling the gateway and adjust the timing for route deletion and generation.

Points to note

To set the polling interval and the number of consecutive poll failures or responses, use the ip route static poll-interval command and ip route static poll-multiplier command. To apply dynamic monitoring to a static route, set the poll parameter in the ip route command.

Command examples

1. (config)# ip route static poll-interval 10

   Specifies 10 seconds as the polling interval for dynamic monitoring.

2. (config)# ip route static poll-multiplier 4 2

   Specifies 4 as the number of consecutive failures (invalidcount) and 2 as the number of consecutive responses (restorecount) for dynamic monitoring.

3. (config)# ip route 192.168.3.0 255.255.255.0 10.2.1.100 poll

   (config)# ip route 192.168.4.0 255.255.255.0 10.2.1.101 poll

   Applies dynamic monitoring to static routes 192.168.3.0/24 and 192.168.4.0/24.
