IP SLA Cisco 2821

Object tracking with SLA sounds like what you need.

Try this:

The backup router is still getting the traffic when the ip sla is defined. attached is the base code of the router. Can you show the changes necessary in the code?

>The backup router is still getting the traffic when the ip sla is defined.

Please post the config that you tried but wouldn't work.

which interface is the T1 backup connected to?


you could use HSRP for this: (for the sake of this example I am using g0/2 as the backup.)

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 g0/2 track 6
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 g0/1 track 5

track 5 ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 reachability

int g0/1
standby 1 ip 172.16.6.100
standby 1 preempt
standby 1 priority 110 decrement 20
standby 1 track 5

int g0/2
standby 1 ip 172.16.6.100
standby 1 preempt
standby 1 track 6

The priority command on g0/1 will make it the dominent interface until the default route is detected as down. When the default route goes down the priority will be decreased by 20 placing it under the default priority of g0/2 (default priority for HSRP is 100).

to check the configuration you can issue the show standby or show standby brief commands.

g0/1 should be shown in active state and g0/2 should be shown in standby state

Thanks for the response MAG, I've been away on business and will attempt this ASAP this week.
