Hello
I need to deploy a basic type of redundancy for a system I have via static route using lowest preference:
next-hop Node1 = 10.0.0.1 = preferred = preference 2
next-hop Node2 = 10.0.0.2 = not preferred = default preference 5
mkh@lab> show configuration routing-options static
route 192.127.10.0/24 {
next-hop 10.0.0.2;
qualified-next-hop 10.0.0.1 {
preference 2;
}
}
======================
mkh@lab> show route 192.127.10.0/24
192.127.10.0/24 *[Static/2] 00:01:09
> to 10.0.0.1 via ae2.114
[Static/5] 00:00:14
> to 10.0.0.2 via ae2.114
In theory, 10.0.0.1 will stay the active route till it isn't REACHABLE
But what does it mean by reachable here?
- Having ARP entry for?
- pingable?
- there is an active route to reach next-hop?
In my case 10.0.0.0/24 is configured directly to ae2.114, so there is always an active route to reach both next-hops.
When I test that in the lab, 10.0.0.1 is always active even if it is down, and no ARP for.
So in a few words, I need to achieve similarity to use "track" in Cisco
Is the only solution to use BFD then?
BR,
Mou
