Dell Force 10 Default Gateway Object Tracking

Hi all,

I come from a Cisco background where I'd use an IP SLA to monitor the default gateway IP and if that went down switch to the backup address. I'm trying to achieve the same with Dell Force10 switches.

Current config:

ip route 0.0.0.0/0 172.16.3.246

track 101 ip route 0.0.0.0/0 reachability

What I don't get is how you fail over to a different route? In Cisco land you can configure which route gets tracking applied to it rather than a catchall of 0.0.0.0/0. Is this possible with a Force10 or will have be forced to use VRRP or similar on our edge routers?

Thanks in advance!
