IP SLA path-echo operation statistics multiple routes

[tpol000011]

Hello, guys

i've created a lab with 5 routers all running IOS 15.2

    ┌ ------- R3-----┐

   R1                   R4 ---- R5

    └--------R2-----┘

R1 has a two routes to R5:

through R2 is weight 10

through R3 is weight 20

i configured ip sla path-echo operation from R1 to R5

When all is up the packet goes R1-R2-R4-R5 and sh ip sla statistics aggregated shows all 3 hops with it's ip addresses

When i shutdown the fa1/0 on R1 with is connected to R2 the traceroute shows that packet now goes R1-R3-R4-R5 with is right too

The ip sla operation statistics also shows successes, but the hops addresses isn't changed

It still shows R1-R2-R4-R5

im a doing something wrong, or it is a bug/feature? :)

Post a sanitized config with just the relevant configs for review.

As this is a lab environment i will attach the configs themeselves

Hello

It seems you have given the sla number to the primary route but not an admin distance

Try something like this:

ip route 172.16.50.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.10.2 track 10 150
ip route 172.16.50.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.20.2 200
!

ip sla 10
 imcp-echo 172.16.50.1 source-ip 172.16.10.2
 frequency 30
ip sla schedule 10 life forever start-time now

ip route 172.16.50.0 255.255.255.0 172.16.10.2 10 150 - this gives me an error

after the "next hop" input i may input the route "distance"

---

i dont want to set the source-ip for the ip sla operation.

i want it to switch routes whr the primary interface goes down and it does! BUT, in the statistics the hops ip addresses stays the same as before. like it goes through primary route.

Hello

A track command

[tpol000011]

and after the track i need to specify my ip sla operation index? or just a random number?

[paul driver]

hello

On the primary router the Ip sla number then the admin distance -

On the secondary route just the admin distance which will need to higher than the primary route admin distance

i assume that ip sla operation will fail if packets will go the second route, after i apply this change? am i correct?
