adding failover static routes

[Derrick Lobo <derrick%givex.com@localhost>]

Trying to add two static  routes for the same network so one remains primary while other is used as a failover

 

I have two gateways for redundancy primary over VPN and backup over a low bandwidth leased line, is there a matrix command like cisco where I can add a higher metrix for the failover route

 

 

Eg

 

Route add 192.168.1.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 192.168.7.1

Route add 192.168.1.0 -netmask 255.255.255.0 192.168.7.2

 

For now if I try the 2^nd command I get route exists adding metrix gives me an error

 

 

Thanks for your help
