Dual default gateways

[mikes999]

Hello, folks;

I am reading all the forums I can find since I have what looks like a simple problem: two ISP routers, two PIXs, one Catalyst 4006 which is routing traffic for the whole company. Adding default static to "new" ISP pretty much shuts down all Internet traffic, even if I tag links with different weight. "no ip route-cache" line is of no help either.

I have quite a few subnets, and I am not inclined at the time to go with PBR; what I need is a basic functionality (load balancing would be nice, though...).

The problem is - 4006 is the only one of a kind I've got, and playing with routing on live network doesn't raise my popularity with users...

Here is the layout:

ISP(old) ISP(new)
\ /
\ /
| |
PIXold PIXnew
\ /
(static) (no route)
\ /
Catalyst4006
/ \
(OSPF) (OSPF)
/ \
Core1 Core2
\ /
\ /
INTRANET

Looks simple. But doesn't work...

BTW: when I tryed to learn gateway routs via OSPF (enabling on PIX), the effecy is the same: external routing shuts down.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

M.S.

Sounds like your new PIX isn't configured properly to pass traffic.


It is what it is!!

computerhighguy, thanks for reply;

I wish it was that easy; if I plug a standalone network into new PIX, it works just fine. Cisco rep also couldn't find any problems with it.

So, it is the router...

Thanks again,

M.S.
