If the tracked object goes down, what happens to packets matching access-list 101?

  • Packets are forwarded using the routing table
  • Packets are dropped
  • Packets are sent to an alternate next-hop
  • Packets are held in queue until tracking recovers

Explanation: According to the sources, when Policy-Based Routing (PBR) is configured, the router first evaluates the PBR logic for packets matching a permit clause in a route-map. If a set command identifies a next-hop that is monitored by a tracking object and that object goes down, the PBR-defined route is considered "not working." In this scenario, Cisco IOS next attempts to route the packets using the normal destination-based IP routing process, meaning the packets are forwarded using the routing table.
