ASA receiving two default routes to internet via OSPF

[deyster94]

I am trying to test something for a client.  If I have an ASA that receives two default routes to the internet via OSPF, will it load balance those connections?  I have a feeling the answer is 'no.'  If that is the case, would the ASA would be at least able use the second internet connection if the primary one becomes saturated?

TIA,

Dan

Hello,

The ASA does not support 2 default routes across different interfaces, you can have up to 3 as long as they are using the same outgoing interface of the ASA.

Do you follow me?

Yes, I know that the ASA cannot have default routes on multiple interfaces.  Both of the default routes are coming into the ASA's outside interface.  There would be two routers and the ASA in area 0 for OSPF.  The routers would have the default-information originate command in their OSPF configuration to push the default route out to the ASA.

Hello Deyster94,

Then the ASA should be learning both of them,

So since it will learn both default routes, will it use both of them to send traffic to the internet?

Hello Deyster,

Yes, Sr .

As long as they are going out the same interface ( in your case outside )
