Interface Tracking

For interface tracking, VRRP is a routing event client. When a routing

interface goes up or down (or routing is disabled globally, implying all routing

interfaces are down), VRRP checks if the interface is tracked. If so, it adjusts

the priority. Interface tracking is useful for tracking interfaces that are not

configured for VRRP. Only IP interfaces are tracked.

Route Tracking

The network operator may perform this task to track the reachability of an IP

route. A tracked route is considered up when a routing table entry exists for

the route and the route is accessible. For route tracking, make VRRP a best

route client of RTO. When a tracked route is added or deleted, change the

priority. For simplicity, routes are not distinguished with the next hop

interface that has VRRP enabled. So VRRP Route Tracking can ignore route

modifications.
