| hi there,
Please i want to ask
ip route 0.0.0.0. 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1
this means that all tarfic you don't know where to route send it to
192.168.1.1 as default-network
but my questions is what if i write
ip route 0.0.0.0. 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1
ip route 0.0.0.0. 0.0.0.0 192.168.2.1
ip route 0.0.0.0. 0.0.0.0 192.168.3.1
where 192.168.1.1 & 192.168.2.1 &192.168.3.1 are IPs of 3 serial Lines S0,S1,S2
Is this means that there will be 3 default gatways , is that means that the Cisco Box will distribute load on those three
Serial and will give me high availabilty..!!
any ideas please
Best Regards,

| No it wont.
You should only have 1 default route.
By definition a default route is "send all traffic that you dont know what to do with to x" where x=next hop.
Usually a default route is a route outside of your home network, because obviously you know how to get to all destinations within your network!!
If you had 3 ip addresses like that, the router would know a route where to send the traffic to.
Instead you would use the serial interface..
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 serial x
and this will cause all traffic to go to the interface where those 3 addresses are.
And its a real crap thing to say yes it will do this...you need to look at metrics for those next hops, updates and administrative distances...load sharing like that wont necessarily just happen! |
