What happens if route map has no destination?

[jwbensley]

• Router R1 has two fast links and one slow link
• There is a default 0/0 route out of slow link
• There is a route map that uses fast link 1, then fast link 2

route-map TEST permit 10
 set ip next-hop verify-availability 10.0.0.4 10 track 1
 set ip next-hop verify-availability 10.0.0.9 20 track 2

int fa0/0 ! LAN

ip policy route-map TEST

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.0.0.1 ! slow link to 10.0.0.1

If 10.0.0.4 and 10.0.0.9 are both unavailable, does the router then fall back to the the RIB which will use the slow link default route? I want to ensure that the traffic will still be routed.

Many thanks,

If the tracking is set up correctly and does detect that 10.0.0.4 and 10.0.0.9 are both not available then yes the router will use the default route ovt the slow link.
