I agree, the weight parameter is also what I need;) but I ask again: It isn't possible to solve this at a higher level (routing) ? There is the 'metric' option for routes, I can put a bigger metric for the backup link. Will this link be automatically used when the primary link with a lower metric is down? Or RIP running on both routers can be a solution for this? thanks -- Ciprian Badescu On Thu, 19 Jun 2003, Michael Sierchio wrote: > Date: Thu, 19 Jun 2003 07:47:15 -0700 > From: Michael Sierchio <kudzu@tenebras.com> > To: Hendrik Scholz <hscholz@raisdorf.net> > Cc: freebsd-net@freebsd.org > Subject: Re: Redundant link configuration > > Hendrik Scholz wrote: > > > Have a look at the ng_one2many module.
