2 default routes in a pix?

[pamirian76]

hi can I have 2 default routes in a pix?

route outside 0 0 1.1.1.1 1

route outside 0.0 1.2.3.4 15

if connection 1 dies, the use the route 2...

thanks.

That should work - the pix cannot do load balancing, but should be able to use weighted routes so that if the primary default fails, the secondary is used

Is to assume if your running a routing protocol such as OSPF or RIP?

Otherwise how would the PIX know that the link is down.

Yes that should work. See this sample output from my PIX.

kayser(config)# sh route

outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.80.1 1 OTHER static

outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.80.4 5 OTHER static

Hi,

actually I think that your PIX use the second route... only if it is using dynamic routing protocols (RIP or OSPF) and its neighbor 192.168.80.11, goes down...
