EOT Support for Carrier Delay
The EOT Support for Carrier Delay feature enables Enhanced Object Tracking (EOT) to consider the carrier-delay timer when tracking the status of an interface.
If a link fails, by default there is a two-second timer that must expire before an interface and the associated routes are declared as being down. If a link goes down and comes back up before the carrier delay timer expires, the down state is effectively filtered, and the rest of the software on the switch is not aware that a link-down event occurred. You can configure the carrier-delay seconds command in interface configuration mode to extend the timer up to 60 seconds.
When Enhanced Object Tracking (EOT) is configured on an interface, the tracking may detect the interface is down before a configured carrier-delay timer has expired. This is because EOT looks at the interface state and does not consider the carrier delay timer. Use the carrier-delay command in tracking configuration mode to enable tracking to consider the carrier-delay timer configured on an interface.
