Description | This article describe how to remove a specific static route when the remote destination is unavailable using link-monitor. |
Scope | FortiGate 7.0. |
Solution |
The link monitor is a mechanism that allows the FortiGate to probe the status of a detected server in order to determine the health of the link, next hop, or the path to the server.
There are instances where it is necessary to remove only specific routes when the detect server is not reachable or responding.
Link monitor settings:
For example here, the 8.8.8.8/32 would be removed if the 2.2.2.2 is down or not responding.
Link monitor status: alive.
Route table: 8.8.8.8/32 available.
Link monitor status: dead.
Route table: 8.8.8.8/32 removed.
