Probe-Enabled Policy Based Routing Configuration

When configuring a static route, you can optionally configure a Network Monitor policy for the route. When a Network Monitor policy is used, the static route is dynamically disabled or enabled, based on the state of the probe for the policy.

1
Configure the static route as described in Static Route Configuration.
2
In the Probe drop-down menu, select the appropriate Network Monitor object or select Create New Network Monitor object... to dynamically create a new object. For more information, see Network > Network Monitor.
3
Typical configurations will not check the Disable route when probe succeeds check box, because typically you will want to disable a route when a probe to the route’s destination fails. This option is provided to give you added flexibility for defining routes and probes.
4
Select the Probe default state is UP to have the route consider the probe to be successful (that is, in the UP state) when the attached Network Monitor policy is in the UNKNOWN state. This is useful to control the probe-based behavior when a unit of a High Availability pair transitions from IDLE to ACTIVE, because this transition sets all Network Monitor policy states to UNKNOWN.
