Tracking with route-map or on route statement, which is better for this scenario?

[Gerard Roy]

I have two ISP's, I want to utilize both circuits in an active/active scenario (not active/active as in a dual asa scenario). Would a route map for each ISP traffic be an answer for this? We have load balancers up front and they do round robin, I would like traffic that came in on one ISP to go out the same ISP link. Are the sla's typically only for a failover scenario? Which would be a better option between doing track under the route map vs track on default route?

IP SLA Tracking on route-map:

route-map PolicyRoute-vz permit 20
match ip address route-VZ
set ip next-hop verify-availability x.x.x.x 1 track 1

route-map PolicyRoute-cl permit 30
match ip address route-CL
set ip next-hop verify-availability y.y.y.y 2 track 2

IP SLA Tracking on routes:
route outside-VZ 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 x.x.x.x 1 track 1
route outside-CL 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 y.y.y.y 2 track 2
ip sla 1

icmp-echo x.x.x.x source-interface outside-VZ

ip sla schedule 1 life forever start-time now
ip sla 2

icmp-echo x.x.x.x source-interface outside-CL

ip sla schedule 1 life forever start-time now

Hi

Based on your snippet config, you're using an asa device.

You won't be able to do active/active for inbound connections. 

How have you built your acls?

You're doing PBR which is the way to achieve this for outgoing access.

Hi Francesco,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, It is an ASA, sorry I was not clear initially. You stated "You won't be able to do active/active for inbound connections". Can you give me the reasoning behind this? 

The ACL's (see below snippet) are applied under the route-map to objects that have been defined. What do you recommend?

access-list route-VZ remark #### Avoid internal traffic to route through outside VZ int ####
access-list route-VZ extended deny ip object UAT_NET object DMZ
access-list route-VZ extended deny ip object UAT_NET object INSIDE-VZ
access-list route-VZ extended deny ip object DMZ object UAT_NET
access-list route-VZ extended deny ip object DMZ object INSIDE-VZ
access-list route-VZ extended deny ip object INSIDE-VZ object UAT_NET
access-list route-VZ extended deny ip object INSIDE-VZ object DMZ
access-list route-VZ extended permit ip object INSIDE-VZ any
access-list route-VZ extended permit ip object DMZ any
access-list route-VZ extended permit ip object UAT_NET any
access-list route-VZ remark #### route below through VZ outbound ####
access-list route-VZ extended permit ip object ns2-VZ any
access-list route-VZ extended permit ip object ns1-VZ any
access-list route-VZ extended permit ip object sqlbench-VZ any
access-list route-VZ extended permit ip object Sandbox-PAT any
access-list route-VZ extended permit ip object uatImg01-VZ any
access-list route-VZ extended permit ip object uatMgt01-VZ any
access-list route-VZ extended permit ip object haproxy_VIP-VZ any
access-list route-VZ extended permit ip object wwwimg-VZ any
access-list route-VZ extended permit ip object bkup01-VZ any
access-list route-VZ extended permit ip object util100-VZ any
access-list route-VZ extended permit ip object bssmgt-VZ any
access-list route-VZ extended permit ip object webcache-VZ any
access-list route-VZ extended permit ip object nagios-VZ any

Thanks!
