default routes PIX.

Feb 03, 2006 2 Replies

I've found the following the following sentence



# If you have two interfaces, you can use two default routes. If you have three or more interfaces, you can have only one default route to the outside router.

formatting link
do you know why having only 2 interfaces you can have 2 default routes while having more only one ?



That's true for PIX 5.1. Is it the same for upper release?

I looked over that link carefully. Those two sentances do not occur together, but they do occur individually.

I am certain that the line about allowing two default routes is a mistake. There are at least 3 places in the document that say specifically that you can only have one default route on the PIX.

Anyway I tried (during a moment of outage not due to me) and it lets you specify more than one default route having different metric.
