  • 1.  Route-Selection -> Metrics or Preferences ?

    Posted 03-17-2015 01:22

    Hi everybody,

     

    just a little question on how to use route-selection correct.

    Here is, how I use it.

    In this example I have pp0.0 as standard-Uplink, and pp0.1 when the standard-Uplink fails.

     

    Here is my config:

     

        static {
            route 0.0.0.0/0 {
                next-hop pp0.0;
                qualified-next-hop pp0.1 {
                    preference 7;
                }
                metric 0;
                preference 5;
            }
    }

     

    Is my useage of metric and preferences correct ?

    Just for information. When the pp0.0 interface goes down, the traffic goes over the pp0.1.

    I have tested it and it works perfectly.

    I just want to know if the combined usage of metrics and prefernce could lead to problems ?

     

    Thanks a lot.

    Best regards, Christoph.

    Hi Christoph,

     

    Your configuration is looking good. The metric/preference you have specified for pp0.0 route is the default values for any static route, so you can get this working even without specifying them.
