GLBP problem

[mohammady]

Dears,

I have two cisco routers connected to a firewall through a multi-layer switch ,I tried to configure glbp on the two routers on fastethernet interface but the problem is when I shutdown fa interface to test glbp the router remain in the "Init state" and didnt go to standby state,this mean that the second router will not handle the traffic!!

Any advise...Thanks

but I knew that cisco routers consider a static route invalid if it is directly connected and unreachable.??is this true??

That is true, but if the three units - the two routers and the firewall - are on an Ethernet then the firewall will not know that one of the routers is down. As far as it is concerned, the Ethernet is reachable so the two routers must be.

Unless you can get the firewall to do object tracking, but I have not seen that feature in it.
