Typical application – tracking the DHCP client default route
This typical application demonstrates a case where a user configures DHCP client on the
device to enable cable modem connection to the WAN FastEthernet interface. The user wishes
to know whether the DHCP client default route can be used for routing decisions – that is,
whether traffic can be routed over this default route. To do so, the user activates tracking to
monitor the remote HQ peer. When the object tracker is up, the DHCP default route may be
used. When the object tracker is down, the DHCP default route is not used for routing and
traffic is routed to alternate routes.
Note:
If several default routers are learned from a specific interface, the object tracker tracks only
the first one.
