Problem with static route and bgp route

RouterOS General
1

Hi there,

we have a redundant setup where a ROS (5.5) box getes two defaultroutes via two interface over bgp.

That is working fine. The box also has a static defaultroute configured with a scope of 100 and distance of 200 so it should only be used if there is no other defaultroute.

when both bgp defaultroutes are there, everything is fine but if the first one get lots, the ROS decides that the static route is the best one and i have no idea why!

Any ideas? Wrong settings? ROS bug?

Another interesting thing is, that if i just edit the comment of the static route, and click OK, then the other (the right) route becomes active. I think this indicates just a software bug?

Regards,
Joerg

Yes. The screenshot indicated the BGP route is reachable and has a lower AD than the static route, so it should be active.

Email support.

rest of routing table is hidden, i think problem is in scope/target scope and nexthop

If that’s the case we’d need to see the whole routing table taken from “/ip route print detail”.

I dont think it has to do with scope/target scope. As i mentioned before the right route is set active when i just change the comment on the static route.

I think that there is a bug when a single route disappears and the rest is not updated properly.

I will mail MT support and see what they say.

u on the latest version? also, what happens if you hit F5 in the routes window? Sometimes the display is just not kept up to date.
