Layer 3 Ether-channel Dual Up link

Level 1

Hi,

     i have setup layer 3 switch with need to have Ether-channel Dual Up links. please see the attached network diagram. my goal is if Router 1 goes down then all traffic go through Router 2 and PC1 can communicate with PC3. i entered default routes of both routers

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.1.1
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.2.2.1

if i use single route of Router1 then PC1 can communicate PC2, when i enter default routes of both routers, then PC1 cannot communicate with PC2 and PC3. how can i fix it?  Thanks,

following is my Layer 3 Switch config.

Enter routes for both remote subnets.

ip route 172.16.1.0 255.255.255.0 10.2.2.1
ip route 110.90.120.0 255.255.255.0 10.1.1.1.

Thanks, but what to do if we want to route traffic on internet. like i have to use default route. like....

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.1.1
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.2.2.1

There is not enough information to comment on routing to the Internet.  The routes I have given will fix your issue regardless of the two above default routes.

please see the attached image of network, there is 1 layer 3 switch which is connected to 2 routers and both routers are connected to internet. 

all in and out traffic is going through R1, if R1 goes down then all in and out traffic go through R2.

You would need to use a different administrative distance like this:

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.1.1 
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.2.2.1 10

However this will only failover if the whole connection to the router is lost.

this does not work, i switched off R1 but traffic does not goes through R2. when i run sh ip route there is no route for R2

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.1.1.1

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.2.2.1 10

sh ip route

Gateway of last resort is 10.1.1.1 to network 0.0.0.0

10.0.0.0/30 is subnetted, 2 subnets

C 10.1.1.0 is directly connected, Port-channel 1

C 10.2.2.0 is directly connected, Port-channel 2

C 192.168.30.0/24 is directly connected, Vlan30

S* 0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via 10.1.1.1
