XLR 8600 static route

[serelk]

We have two XLR 8600 connected by trunk in the core
I have configured static ip route in primary switch like below
ip static-route create 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 next-hop 10.1.30.254 cost 1 preference 16
My secondary switch learns it via OSPF
For redundancy reason I'd like create same static route with cost 2 in the secondary switch But when I try to put this route I'm getting following error

Error: route tbl consistency check failed
Error: Duplicate route

How can I solve this problem?

Is it possible prevent advertising of static route only through
specific interface

Any advice

I have a T1 out of my admin Passport 1200 so that is the default route there, all my other 1200's claim the admin1200 is their defalt route. The one thing you can't give for your heart's desire is your heart.

Have you set up vrrp for the 2 switches? Does the static route go to a physical port or a virtual port?

Hi I have experinced the only way to put the static or default route on 8600 with or with out VRRP running
is to insert the route on the 2 switches with device man
at the same time using 2 seperate pc's connected to each and apply at the same time.
reason nce it is learnt from one switch it will not allow
you to put it on the other switch.
Trust me this solution works.

No idea if 8600s got this too, but the latest release (2.1.4.0) for the 1200 has a new table: the static route table, where you can put in multiple static routes to same destination like default; the lowest hop count that is actice goes in the main route table. this allows many default routes. I tried to remain child-like, all I acheived was childish.
