I have a question about IRDP preference. Consider the following scenario:
R3-E0-------------------E0-R4
|
|
E0
R1
R3's config:
in e0
ip ad 172.16.1.3 255.255.255.0
ip irdp
ip irdp preference 300
R4's config:
in e0
ip ad 172.16.1.4 255.255.255.0
ip irdp
ip irdp preference 400
R1's config:
no ip routing
in e0
ip ad 172.16.1.1 255.255.255.0
IRDP is configured on R3 and R4's ethernet 0. IP routing is turned off on
R1. So it is acting as a host.
Question: Which router is the default gateway for R1? R3 or R4?
According to the Doc CD:
preference number
(Optional) Preference value. The allowed range is -231 to 231. The default
is 0. A higher value increases the router's preference level. You can modify
a particular router so that it will be the preferred router to which others
home.
My understanding is that the router with a higher preference valve, i.e. R4
will win.
However, the following route table on R1 shows the opposite:
r1#sh ip route
Gateway Using Interval Priority Interface
172.55.255.3 IRDP 788 300 Ethernet0/1
172.55.255.4 IRDP 900 400 Ethernet0/1
Default gateway is 172.55.255.3
Host Gateway Last Use Total Uses Interface
ICMP redirect cache is empty
Could someone please explain this?
Thanks.
