ljubljana4> show route
Destination Mask Gateway Source Flag Met Interface
----------------- ---- -------------------- ------- ---- --- ---------
0.0.0.0 0 195.10.52.33 ospf/E2 ND 3 ether0
(rest is not important)
Now we can see here that the metric for this entry is 3. Now let's say
that we have a dialout location called "backup", that looks like this:
ljubljana4> show location backup
Location: backup Type: On Demand
Destination: 10.10.10.1 Netmask: 255.255.255.252
Local IP: 10.10.10.2
Protocol: PPP Options: Quiet, VJ-Comp, Multilink
Group: 0 Max Ports: 4
Idle Timeout: 110 seconds High Mark: 0 bytes
Mtu: 1500 Async Map: 00000000
Username: something Password: SoMeThInG
Telephone: 12345678
OSPF: on
OSPF accept-rip: off
OSPF cost: 1
OSPF Hello Int: 10
OSPF Dead Time: 40
OSPF(WAN Type): nbma
Now we try to set a static default gateway, that was supposed to be used
in case the dynamically learned route is gone. So we do a
"set gateway 10.10.10.1 4". Because we set the metric to 4, this route was
supposed to be invoked when the original 0.0.0.0 entry with metric 3 was
gone.
But instead, in my case, the dialout location dials as soon as I enter
the "set gateway" command. Why is that? Am I doing something wrong or is
this a bug (ComOS 3.8b13)?
I have a couple of PM2's with ComOS 3.7.2 where it works as expected, but
the default route is learned through frame relay instead of ethernet.
I'm leaning towards a bug in 3.8b13. Or is it something stupid I'm doing?
Any insight will be appreciated.
