Default Gateway disappears on SPLAT

[bforrest]

I have an issue with a SPLAT R61 machine losing one of it's default gateways. I have 2 entered and the one keeps dropping from the routing table. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Brad

How did you add default gateway? Form sysconfig or by route add?
Check file /etc/sysconfig/netconf.C, this file must include smth like

: (route
:dest (default)
:dev (ethx)
:via (xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx)
:metric (x)
)

I would add it either way and it would disappear.

After which actions do route disappear?

Taken from Firewall_and_SmartDefense.pdf for R60:

Configuring the Default Route for the ISP Redundancy
Gateway

25 Configure the ISP Redundancy gateway machine to have only a single default
route. Do not give it any metric.
• When working in a Primary/Backup mode, set the IP address of the router
leading to the primary ISP as the default route.
• When working in Load Sharing mode, use the router of the first ISP link in the
Check Point Gateway > Topology > ISP Redundancy window as the default route.
When an ISP link fails, the default route of the gateway is automatically changed by
means of the ISP Redundancy script. When the link goes up again, the original
default route will be reinstated.
