I am trying to add redundant default gateways, but it will only display one as being in the route table
The SG300 is in L3 mode, with the following interfaces
#show ip in IP Address I/F I/F Status Type Directed Precedence Status admin/oper Broadcast ------------------- ---------- ------------- ----------- ---------- ---------- ----------- 192.168.10.10/24 vlan 100 UP/UP Static disable No Valid 192.168.11.1/24 vlan 101 UP/UP Static disable No Valid 192.168.12.1/24 vlan 102 UP/UP Static disable No Valid 192.168.13.1/24 vlan 103 UP/UP Static disable No Valid 192.168.14.1/24 vlan 104 UP/UP Static disable No Valid 192.168.15.1/24 vlan 105 UP/UP Static disable No Valid 192.168.16.1/24 vlan 106 UP/UP Static disable No Valid 192.168.17.1/24 vlan 107 UP/UP Static disable No Valid 192.168.18.1/24 vlan 108 UP/UP Static disable No Valid
Here is the route table before I attempt to add the gateways
#show ip route Maximum Parallel Paths: 1 (1 after reset) IP Forwarding: enabled Codes: > - best, C - connected, S - static C 192.168.10.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 100 C 192.168.11.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 101 C 192.168.12.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 102 C 192.168.13.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 103 C 192.168.14.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 104 C 192.168.15.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 105 C 192.168.16.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 106 C 192.168.17.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 107 C 192.168.18.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 108
I add the first gateway, with a metric of 1 and it shows in the route table
#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.10.1 metric 1 #show ip route Maximum Parallel Paths: 1 (1 after reset) IP Forwarding: enabled Codes: > - best, C - connected, S - static S 0.0.0.0/0 [1/1] via 192.168.10.1, 00:00:39, vlan 100 C 192.168.10.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 100 C 192.168.11.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 101 C 192.168.12.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 102 C 192.168.13.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 103 C 192.168.14.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 104 C 192.168.15.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 105 C 192.168.16.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 106 C 192.168.17.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 107 C 192.168.18.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 108
I add the second gateway with a metric of 2, but it does NOT show in the route table
#ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.10.2 metric 2 #show ip route Maximum Parallel Paths: 1 (1 after reset) IP Forwarding: enabled Codes: > - best, C - connected, S - static S 0.0.0.0/0 [1/1] via 192.168.10.1, 00:03:41, vlan 100 C 192.168.10.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 100 C 192.168.11.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 101 C 192.168.12.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 102 C 192.168.13.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 103 C 192.168.14.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 104 C 192.168.15.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 105 C 192.168.16.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 106 C 192.168.17.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 107 C 192.168.18.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 108
If I remove the first gateway, then the second one shows in the route table
#no ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.10.1 1 entry was deleted #show ip route Maximum Parallel Paths: 1 (1 after reset) IP Forwarding: enabled Codes: > - best, C - connected, S - static S 0.0.0.0/0 [1/2] via 192.168.10.2, 00:03:28, vlan 100 C 192.168.10.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 100 C 192.168.11.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 101 C 192.168.12.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 102 C 192.168.13.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 103 C 192.168.14.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 104 C 192.168.15.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 105 C 192.168.16.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 106 C 192.168.17.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 107 C 192.168.18.0/24 is directly connected, vlan 108
Is there something special I need to do, for multiple gateways?
I tried the same as the above, with just one default gateway, and used two other static routes, resuslts were the same
Any suggestions?

Hi,
Redundant gateways should be really handled by redundancy protocols such as HSRP or VRRP.

Understood, but...
It still doesnt explain why the route wont show that there is a redundant gateway

Hi,
By default static route as metric of 1.since the second route(with metric 2) it's floating route.Once default static route is deleted floating route is reflected in the output of "show ip route".

Thanks for the explanation on that behavior, much appreciated
However,
In the scope of troubleshooting,
say an admin had entered in a secondary default gateway
Whether on purpose or by accident, how would he or any other admin now that?
Because the route would only show that one is present
