Yes, there's no drawback. As soon as 192.168.52.34 becomes reachable the primary route will be used.

All it's doing is the router would remove the route to xx.xx.xx.241 via 192.168.52.34 if the next hop is unreachable and it would start using the route to xx.xx.xx.241 via ABC_INTERNET_INTERFACE. You can read up more on this feature here.

I am trying to implemet the following configurations

rtr 1

type echo protocol ipicmpecho 192.168.52.34

!

rtr schedule 1 life forever start-time now

!

track 192 rtr 1 reachability

!

int x

ip policy route-map ABC_MAP

!

route-map ABC_MAP

set ip next-hop verify-availability 192.168.52.34 10 track 192

!

ip route xx.xx.xx.241 255.255.255.255 192.168.52.34 track 192

ip route xx.xx.xx.241 255.255.255.255 xx.xx.xx.2 254

But when ever i try this i receive an error (command support issues)on verify-availability

I am using 3550 with (C3550-IPSERVICESK9-M), Version 12.2(35)SE IOS.

Kindly put some light on this
