Pardon my interruption Lekan.... I *believe* there may be one consideration
missing from your advice. If I am wrong, please forgive me. Floating statics
which point to a next hop address are, of course, hard-coded routes in your
IGP table... no matter if the metric for a secondary or backup route has a
larger AD.... the one with the smaller AD is hard-coded in the route table; if
it goes down, there's no way for the route table to know it. What I have
done to overcome this is to use the interface itself as the next hop, e.g.:
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Serial0/0.1
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Serial0/0.2 200
... but, truth be known, I do not have a very granular explanation why this
configuration is able to dynamically perform routing table maintenance.
How 'bout it you Brainiacs?
