1) "I do not understand why you have two commands with the primary default route"
"I do not understand why you have 4 copies of the floating static default route"
I didn't mean to configure it that many times (i.e. for the primary default route and floating static default route). I kept having to troubleshoot and reconfigure and assumed the new configurations will override the old ones. How do i reset everything...? Will the command no ip sla 10 clear/reset the configuration?
2) I do not know why you added 192.168.1.1 to the route map and believe that this creates a problem when set it as the next hop
I actually didn't add 192.168.1.1 while setting the next hop. The command i used was
set ip next-hop 41.73.20.57 [where 41.73.40.57 is the gateway address of the primary modem]
3) you have configured ip nat outside on the interface with the primary modem but not on the interface with the backup. Is that on purpose?
I actually didn't take note of that nat configuration. Must have been configured before i took hold of the router. Do i need to configure ip nat outside on the backup modem as well? I don't think it would affect ip sla or would it?
show ip route with the primary modem functional gives:
Codes: L - local, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2
ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route
o - ODR, P - periodic downloaded static route, H - NHRP, l - LISP
+ - replicated route, % - next hop override
Gateway of last resort is 41.73.20.57 to network 0.0.0.0
S* 0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via 41.73.20.57
41.0.0.0/8 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks
C 41.73.20.56/30 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/1
L 41.73.20.58/32 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/1
192.168.1.0/24 is variably subnetted, 2 subnets, 2 masks
C 192.168.1.0/24 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0
L 192.168.1.1/32 is directly connected, GigabitEthernet0/0
I'm not able to get the full details for show ip route when the primary modem is off at the moment. But it gives:
Codes: L - local, C - connected, S - static, R - RIP, M - mobile, B - BGP
D - EIGRP, EX - EIGRP external, O - OSPF, IA - OSPF inter area
N1 - OSPF NSSA external type 1, N2 - OSPF NSSA external type 2
E1 - OSPF external type 1, E2 - OSPF external type 2
i - IS-IS, su - IS-IS summary, L1 - IS-IS level-1, L2 - IS-IS level-2
ia - IS-IS inter area, * - candidate default, U - per-user static route
o - ODR, P - periodic downloaded static route, H - NHRP, l - LISP
+ - replicated route, % - next hop override
Gateway of last resort is not set
