RE: [FW1] Multiple Default Gateways on Solaris



 
Forgive my ignorance, but what do you mean by 'admin distance of 1'.?
 
What _do_ I need to have TWO default routes?  My ISP is getting ready to turn on BGP on both of my Internet links (two routers).  They said that I need to have a firewall that is capable of handling multiple default routes.
 
Before I tell them to proceed, I'm trying to find out if FW-1 will handle this....
 
 
Any ideas?

someone is pulling your leg. You can't have two different default routes with a admin distance of 1.

Well, the /etc/defaultrouter file did take care of the OS routing...but how can I get FW-1 to recognize it?
 
Example, I entered my additional route in the file, rebooted.  Then I pinged a device on the Net.  Next, I pulled the ethernet cable out of hme0 (first default route) and then did a ping/traceroute...it worked and it _IS_ using the next default route; this is all from Solaris.
 
Next, I tried to ping/traceroute from a PC BEHIND the FW-1....no go!  FW-1 is still trying to use the FIRST route...it's not 'failing over'.
 
What do I have to do to FW-1 to have it recognize that there are multiple default routes?

If I am understanding you correctly, it seems that all you will have to do is to edit the /etc/defaultrouter file and append the second gateway below the first.  That should do it.

I am wondering it FW-1 v4.0, running on Solaris will support Multiple
Default Gateways.

In other words, current default GW is 1.2.3.4. I would like to add a second
gateway of 5.6.7.8 for redundancy.

Is this possible? What would I do to configure this?
