Version 6.8 45 Mediant MSBR
Configuration Guide 8. Static Routing
8.3 Example of "Floating” Static Route and Track
In this example, the MSBR1 needs to reach the 10.10.10.0/24 network segment from its
LAN. The destination network segment is reachable from both MSBR-R-WAN1 and MSBR-
R-WAN2; however, this example assumes that due to routing considerations, the route
through MSBR-R-WAN1 is preferable. Static routes will be configured through both of the
MSBRs, while the one pointing to MSBR-R-WAN2 will have lower metric value and will be
linked with a tracking object.
Figure 8-2: Multi WAN with Floating Static Route
If connectivity through MSBR2 fails, the tracking mechanism deletes the static route
pointing to MSBR-R-WAN1 from the local MSBR's routing table and the second, higher
metric value static route is used.
