It's possible to specify more than one default route.

Subject: TCP/IP Routing on the Iseries


Hello all,

I will try to explain our situation so maybe some network guru could
help me.

- We have a data center with several AS/400 inside. 
- They communicate with the outside trought a frame relay network. 
- For redundancy, we have two frame link coming in from different path.

- We have a router for each link.
- If one link goes down (phone pole hit by truck or whaterver), the
router reroutes the traffic to the other router.
- But if the router goes down, it is the responsability of the AS/400
to direct the traffic to the other router.
- here is my question: I have setup a default route (CFGTCP opt2) to
link to the first router, how can I program a second default route that
will be use if the first router is down (for maintenance or  ...)?

Any help would be apreciated
