Hello,
I am presently working on RB201 1iL-RM router.
i configured ISP1 on ether1
ISP2 on ether2
LAN on ether 3
i observed that a dynamic active connected route was automatically created for the LAN and made reachable via ether2 with distance 0
this makes it difficult for me to access a dedicated server on the LAN anytime ISP1 goes down
can anyone help me with the solution to this?
Could you be a little more explicit about what you are trying to do?
Connected routes will always have dynamic routes with distance 0, since they allow direct subnet access.
You can override them by creating routes with higher specificity (bigger netmasks).
e.g. eth2 is 192.168.1.0/24, connected.
If you add 192.168.1.5/32 via , you will be able to reach that machine from the router.
Depending on the setup, you need to enable proxy ARP, for the machines from the subnet to reach it, or specify static routes via the router for 192.168.1.5 on every LAN client.
