Source routing fail

[alopez]

Hi

I have a router cisco 7604 VXR with two outside connections, each one associated to a set of addresses. I have defined a default gateway for one  of the set of addresses and a source routing to define the gateway for the other set but it doesn't work. The configuration is:

interface FastEthernet0/1.5
encapsulation dot1Q 5
ip address 147.13.30.161 255.255.255.224
ip flow monitor flow-monitor-smart-1 output
ip flow ingress
ip flow egress
ip policy route-map CCA_GATEWAY
ip ospf message-digest-key 1 md5 7 1A4D169404421B1F027A7A

access-list 101 permit ip 147.13.30.160 0.0.0.31 any

route-map CCA_GATEWAY permit 10
match ip address 101
set ip default next-hop 172.31.50.2      (address of the next router. I arrive to it)

When I do a show route-map CCA_GATEWAY I see that "the number of policy routing  matches" increase but the router is sending the packets to the wrong gateway.

route-map CCA_GATEWAY, permit, sequence 10
  Match clauses:
    ip address (access-lists): 101
  Set clauses:
    ip default next-hop 172.31.50.2
  Policy routing matches: 2336130 packets, 2068948582 bytes

What does it happen?

Thanks

I suspect that the issue is in the way that you are doing the set in the route map. You are setting the default netxt hop:

set ip default next-hop 172.31.50.2

but based on what you have described I believe that it would be better to set the next hop directly:

set ip next-hop 172.31.50.2

can you give this a try and let us know if it improves the situation?
