You can add a second route and weight it as follows: ip route add equalize 192.168.2.0/24 scope global nexthop via 192.168.0.254 dev eth0 weight 1 nexthop via 192.168.0.250 dev eth0 weight 1
This assumes that:
both gateways are connected to eth0 on your linux box You want equal traffic weight down each gateway to the remote network....

Hi ,
I have a network to reach which is *MailScanner warning: numerical links are often malicious:* 192.168.2.0/24 http://192.168.2.0/24. It is a branch of the company. I have currently added a route to that network via one gateway ( *MailScanner warning: numerical links are often malicious:* 192.168.0.254 http://192.168.0.254) in following way.
ip route add *MailScanner warning: numerical links are often malicious:* 192.168.2.0/24 http://192.168.2.0/24 via *MailScanner warning: numerical links are often malicious:* 192.168.0.254 http://192.168.0.254
Now, We got another gateway which is *MailScanner warning: numerical links are often malicious:* 192.168.0.250 http://192.168.0.250. Now I want to add a route to the same network which is *MailScanner warning: numerical links are often malicious:* 192.168.2.0/24 http://192.168.2.0/24 via this gateway (*MailScanner warning: numerical links are often malicious:* 192.168.0.250 http://192.168.0.250) as well.
Then I will have 2 paths to the same network. One path should be primary and the other path should be backup. everything should go via primary path.
if the primary path goes down, the backup path should be active.
That is the purpose of doing this.
Pls let me know whether it is possible or not?
if possible, How can I achieve this goal.
