Why is a script needed when we have check gateway?

hi i dont understand you, what do you mean ? I need a script because Route will not disable automatically if connection will broke in other link (cable at next hop for example) than my ether is connected..

edit: oh sorry you mean check-gateway command.. can you give me an example ? im not sure how it works, thank you

edit: ok i got it.. today im not able to test it but.. it can be set only in terminal right ?
i believe now it will works, thank you :slight_smile:

I’m not sure my script will help you, but in looking at what you wanted, this seems to apply.

You’re welcome to see.
