routing with metric

quartino
Hi,
we need to configure 2 gateway routes to the same destination network (10.1.1.0/24) using 2 different gateways and different priority.
we configured the routes with different metric but when we try to activate them we get the following error
"The network '10.1.1.0/24' is already in use by the destination network attribute of the static route object 'to test net (2)'.
what we're doing wrong?
best would be to activate the second route only in case a monitoring process on the first route failed like the cisco route track.
thank you.
andy

    That's a good question, Andy, I don't think it's been asked here before!  Instead of a second static route, use an Availability Group as the gateway in the first static route.  Does that do what you wanted?    

    Cheers - Bob

    hi bob.
    if i use the availability group the route will always try to use the first host and only in case this is not available the second, right?
    just as a curiosity do you know why is not possible to activate the route with different metric?
    what is the sense ot this field if it's not possible to set it?
    cheers
