Re: Solaris 10 static routes with metrics

I have what I think is a simple question.. but I can't find the answer.
On a Solaris 10 server, I want to add two routes to the same
destination, but over two different gateways. This is in case one of
the gateways (router) goes down - the server will know to use the
secondary router to get to my remote network.

This does not work like you think it does.

There is NO way for the system to discover whether a router
is present; some systems ping routers but this is ill-advised.
It cause more outages because routers often disregard pings.

I'd suggest running an actual router discovery which cause proper
failover if the router goes away.
