Hi all,

in link monitor article

update-static-route {disable | enable}

Enable to remove static routes from the routing table that use this interface if the link monitor fails. Default is enable.

what i need to know that if i was configure a backup default route in the same interface that configured with link monitor with long distance than main route will work when this link monitor fail ... or it will just disable all routes configured under this interface cuz backup routes not exist in the routing table ????

    If you enable this setting then *all* routes via this interface will be deleted. If you have a backup route configured via this WAN interface then you need to disable this (default is 'enabled'). The backup route will not be seen in the routing table ('Monitor', 'Routing Table') until the preferred main route is deleted.
