Hello, I have setup my SRX210 to use as default router a 'static route 0.0.0.0/0 qualified-next-hop [IP-A]' and as next-hop [IP-B]. This crates the conditions for a failover in case the interface/line/device with IP-A falis.
The failover works fine even if the ethernet interface is up but the connectivity due to line problem is down. Therefore -as expected- all traffic from gateway with IP-A is re-routed to gateway with IP-B. The second gateway device is a prototype Juniper wipipe CX-111 device that offers 3G wireless backup. This device works like a charm. As soon as it senses incoming traffic it enables the 3G interface and the failover is almost seamless. The wipipe device is able to sense when it is no longer needed and it shuts down the expensive 3G link after a defined pperiod of inactivity going to stand-by till the next time that it will be needed. All these are great, but my problem is this: I look for a way to make the SRX sense that the initial (qualified) line is back up again and therefore change the default route back to IP-A, in turn letting the wipipe device unused to shut down after some time of inactivity.
Is there a way to make the SRX monitor the line status and change the default router? With my current setup after the failover there is no fallback evidently because there is no mechanism to sense that line with IP-A is up again.
Current setup:
routing-options {
static {
route 0.0.0.0/0 {
next-hop [IP-B];
qualified-next-hop [IP-A];
}
}
}
Any ideas are welcome.
Thanks.
