Static IP Routes in IPO4 units, Could bad route cause drops?

[573dawn]

Hi All, I am a posting fool today When our system was setup, static IP routes were added by the BP. One of them was:

0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.200

where 192.168.0.200 is a cisco router.

Sounds ok, BUT, 192.168.0.200 is one router that connects 2 remote sites to the main site. Neither of those sites has many problems. So 192.168.0.200 conncts to routers 192.168.2.1 and 10.10.1.1

Meanwhile, my trouble site has a different router, 192.168.0.199, and it connects only to router 192.168.3.199

SO the routes in the main DS are (all DS units end in .180):
0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.200
10.10.1.180 255.255.255.0 10.10.1.1
192.168.2.180 255.255.255.0 192.168.2.1
192.168.3.180 255.255.255.0 192.168.3.199

So I am wondering if the 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.200 should be there at all since it only includes 2 of 3 remote sites?

On the remote DS units routes look like this (using my trouble site as an example):

10.10.1.180 255.255.255.0 192.168.3.199
192.168.2.180 255.255.255.0 192.168.3.199
192.168.0.180 255.255.255.0 192.168.3.199

Also, every DS has a "remote management" route of:

192.168.99.0 255.255.255.0 0.0.0.0

Which I don't think should be there, as we aren't managed remotely.

I am just wondering if any of this has an impact on our dropped calls. Incidentally, ATT was out this morning at our trouble site looking at the grounding and mentioned that they thought our BP should be working harder on this, but since they aren't...

Thanks, Dawn

One more thing, I decided to look over the router configs again, and I removed a couple of routes that the "router guy" had added in back in the beginning. He had set a default route of 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.200 in my 192.168.0.199 router, which I questioned at the time but was trying to keep my mouth shut as he was brought in by the BP.

Same with the route of 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 Null0 he had added to the 192.168.0.200 router.

So far today I have had no reports of drops. Keeping my fingers crossed.
