I would like to configure a secondary route for a L3 Cisco Switch, in this case a Cisco 3750.
The primary route goes via a Microwave link, but when or if the Microwave link should fail I would like to route via a VPN connection.
Current configuration on switch for the primary route is:
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.10.254.5
However the failover / backup route would need to go to destination 172.21.2.150 which is the firewall responsible for connecting the VPN back to the same destination.
My thoughts were:
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 10.10.254.5
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 172.21.2.150 200
But there may be problems with this because, if the Microwave link fails, the interface port and connection on 10.10.254.5 will still be connected despite there being no WAN link. I think I was told the above example will only work if the interface show as 'not connected'.
Thanks for your help
