bgp multilink balance problem

[fly]

ip route 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.255 1.1.1.1

ip route 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.255 1.1.1.5

interface e0/0

ip address 1.1.1.2 255.255.255.252

interface e0/1

ip address 1.1.1.6 255.255.255.252

interface loopback 0

ip address 3.3.3.3 255.255.255.255

router bgp 100

neighbor 2.2.2.2 remote-as 200

neighbor 2.2.2.2 update-source loopback0

neighbor 2.2.2.2 multihop 3

ip route 1.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 null0

i config a summary route using ip route 1.1.1.0 255.255.255.0 null 0, but interface e0/0 e0/1 ip address is 1.1.1.0/252 and 1.1.1.4/252.

i use two static route direct loopback route on another router to 1.1.1.1,and 1.1.1.5, the problem is when interface e0/0 is down, because point to null0 route can't disappear. so ip route 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.255 1.1.1.1 can't disappear, there are two static routes in routing table, traffic can't be changed to another line.

how to deal with this situation

thank you!

Hi,

Why don't you change the routes to be:

ip route 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.255 e0/0 1.1.1.1

ip route 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.255 e0/1 1.1.1.5

If you specify the interface through which the next hop should be found, you will install the floating static route only if the next hop IP address is reachable through the specified interface.

See this link for more details:

Hope this helps - pls rate the post if it does.

Cheers,

Hello,

just on a side note, make sure that whatever static route you want to be the floating static has a higher administrative distance:

ip route 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.255 e0/0 1.1.1.1

ip route 2.2.2.2 255.255.255.255 e0/1 1.1.1.5 200

we don't want to be the floating static, we want load balance on these two lines.

Hello,

Did you try my suggestion config from my previous post ?
