Configuration Of A Redundant Static Route - Hirschmann Power MICE User Manual

Static Routing

3.3.2 Configuration of a redundant Static Route

To ensure a reliable connection between the two routers, you can connect
the routers with two or more lines.
Subnet 10.0.1.0/24
10.0.1.5/24
Interface 2.1
IP=10.0.1.1
Figure 11: Redundant static route
You have the option of assigning importance (distance) to a route. If there
are a number of routes to a destination, then the router chooses the route
with the highest importance. If you do not assign a value for the importance
during the configuration, the router takes the preset value "1" for the impor-
tance. This is the highest importance.

Switch to the Priviledged EXEC mode.
Switch to the Configuration mode.
Select the port at which you want to connect the
redundant route.
Assign the IP parameters to the port.
Switch on the router function at this port.
Switch to the Configuration mode.
Create the static routing entry for the redundant
route. The "2" at the end of the command is the
value of the importance.
When both routes are available, the router uses
the route via subnet 10.0.2.0/24, because this
route has the higher importance (preset value =
1) (see on page 30 "Configuration of a Static
Route")
Verify the routing table:
