How to negate a Track in Cisco router

As you may know, you can have a Tracked list in Cisco routers combined with Boolean expressions. In order to negate a track, you need to add the keyword "not" after your object in the list. Example:

Router(config)#track track-number list boolean {and|or} (depending on if you need a logical AND or a logical OR)
Router(config-track)#object Tracked-object-number [not]

Cisco Router Specification regarding VPN Tunnels

Just to help not to be confused, like me... Long time ago I faced an issue regarding the limit of VPN tunnels on Cisco 3800 series router. In the specification you read :

  • Up to 2500 VPN tunnels

I had a 3845 router with around 700 VPN Tunnels, but the router was not able to manage the tunnels and they were flapping non-stop! I looked long time for the source of problem until the time that I decided to reduce the number of tunnels with the batch of 20 tunnels. I got the stability when I reached a specific number of tunnels in the router.
