I am trying to troubleshoot our IP SLA configuration. It is setup to determine availability of a route through site A and if that route is not available, then the traffic would be redirected to a route in site B. I have the IP SLA configuration below:
IP SLA Config on Site A:
ip sla monitor 1
type echo protocol ipIcmpEcho 10.50.50.1 source-interface FastEthernet0/0.10
ip sla monitor schedule 1 life forever start-time now
track 1 rtr 1 reachability
ip route 10.20.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.20.102.125 track 1
ip route 10.20.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.20.128.16 4
ip route 10.50.50.1 255.255.255.255 10.20.102.125 permanent
The issue we're having is that all traffic appears to be going out the route at Site B and returning through Site A.
IP SLA Config on Site B:
ip sla monitor 1
type echo protocol ipIcmpEcho 10.50.50.1 source-interface FastEthernet0/0
ip sla monitor schedule 1 life forever start-time now
!
track 1 rtr 1 reachability
ip route 10.20.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.20.102.125 track 1
ip route 10.20.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.20.128.16 4
ip route 10.50.50.1 255.255.255.255 10.20.102.125 permanent
You will see that this is just a duplicate of the Site A config and we're planning on removing this after we get everything working on the sites that point to either of these locations.
The other locations have the following routes:
ip route 10.20.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.20.102.125 track 1
ip route 10.20.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.20.128.16 4
ip route 10.50.50.1 255.255.255.255 10.20.102.125 permanent
I've configured BGP on the router in Site A with 10.20.1.0/24 as a network and running sh ip bgp properly shows that the next hop for that network should be 10.20.102.125. With this said, I should be able to remove the routing statements mentioned above on the remote sites routers and the statements on Site B and the intended traffic should be able to find its way (once BGP propagates) to Site A, right?
Thanks for your help,
Chris

Why dont you just use HSRP? Ip sla sucks...
