DHCP - Pointing to Interface Name Doesn't Work

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hello all,
Trying to set up failover, but first hurdle is I have ISP1 configured for DHCP. When I create a static route that points to the interface name, it doesn’t work.

Example:
Dst. Address 0.0.0.0/0
Gateway: to_ISP1

But instead of using interface name, I add the actual gateway IP, it works. Any ideas? Running a 750 with 5.17 firmware. Thanks!

You can check the “add default route” box on the DHCP client to have a default route added automatically.

Yes, but if I have it added automatically, I can’t perform route marking …
