internal L3 switches to single router

[dave dave]

Hi if I've 2 L3 3560 switches( these 2 L3 switches are interconnected thru ether channel trunk) with 1 connection each to a router(1900), and these 2 switches are connected to this router using 10.1.1.0/30 and 10.1.1.4/30 respectively. How do I make sure that the default route always go thru L3 sw number 1 and not number 2? Will the command below work?

Ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.1.1

Ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.1.5 100

This is to say 10.1.1.1 is the preferred gw and 10.1.1.5 will only be used if 10.1.1.1 gw is down over the L3 sw Number 1 is down?

Hi,

I would use the interface option in the IP route command:

IP route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 [interface] 10.1.1.1

IP route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 [interface] 10.1.1.5 100

Also, you might want to check out HSRP for that connection.

Hope this helps
