I think you must include "scope global" words, line must be like this: # ip ro add default scope global \ nexthop via 65.yy.xx.97 dev eth2 \ nexthop via 66.xx.yy.209 dev eth1 If you want to equalize traffic you must add the "equalize" word after "default" : # ip ro add default equalize scope global \ nexthop via 65.yy.xx.97 dev eth2 \ nexthop via 66.xx.yy.209 dev eth1 Regards, Jorge ----- Original Message ----- From: "Whit Blauvelt" <whit@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: "Julian Anastasov" <ja@xxxxxx> Cc: <lartc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 4:59 PM Subject: Re: [LARTC] Trouble using "nexthop" > Hi Julian and all, > > Thanks for advice.
