Hello,
I'm having a problem when I put in the tracking option on my default route, I lose connection all together.
I have a T1 (outside) used as primary connection, and a DSL line (backup) plugged in for a failover.
This is an ASA with the Security Plus package, so the failover option should be working.
route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 1.2.3.1 1
route backup 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 7.8.9.1 254
These are my routes. When I try to put:
route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 1.2.3.1 1 track 1
I completely lose connection. I've even tried "write mem" and "reload" hoping to bring up the connection.
Here is the config that pertains to the routes:
interface Vlan1
nameif inside
security-level 100
ip address 192.168.1.253 255.255.255.0
!
interface Vlan2
nameif outside
security-level 0
ip address 1.2.3.2 255.255.255.248
!
interface Vlan3
nameif backup
security-level 0
ip address 7.8.9.2 255.255.255.0
!
route outside 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 1.2.3.1 1
route backup 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 7.8.9.1 254
!
sla monitor 666
type echo protocol ipIcmpEcho 1.2.3.4 interface outside
num-packets 3
frequency 10
!
track 1 rtr 666 reachability
I haven't put in
sla monitor schedule 666 life forever start-time now
Yet because I want to make sure the default route works. My understanding is that just adding in "track 1" to the end of the route doesn't do anything until I activate the timer with the "sla monitor" line.
Any ideas as to which part of this feature I have wrong?
