WAN redundancy with Floating Static Routes

[CCDECCDE9]

Hi

I have configured Floating static routes with for failover scenario between two sites.When I unplugged the PRIMARY CONNECTION cable from SITE A then I could not see SITE B using BACKUP CONNECTION until I asked somebody to UNPLUG the PRIMARY CONNECTION cable from SITE B.Does this mean that FAILOVER will not kick in until both sides of the cable of a connection are disconnected ?

Thanks

Hello CCDE,

yes there is this problem

check reliable static routing

Edit:

I have the impression you had opened another thread about this so I would suggest to go on on the older thread, specially if you had added more details about your scenario.

Hope to help
