Do you need a default route with flow-redirect?

[KevinR]

When using flow redirect do I still need a default route or will that interfere with flow redirect?

Should I have

create flow-redirect BACKUP-INET

configure flow-redirect BACKUP-INET add nexthop 10.10.5.1 priority 150

configure flow-redirect BACKUP-INET add nexthop 10.10.5.11 priority 100

and
configure iproute add default 10.10.5.1

I haven't found any flow-redirect examples that also have a default route but I also haven't seen anything saying they are incompatible. 

Thanks

Hi Kevin,

I only used flow-redirect a few times, but all switches already had a default-gateway configured.

Keep in mind that you also need some ACLs otherwise these flow-redirects have no effect.

Best regards

Thanks, I have ACLs set but failover wasn't happening as expected and I was unsure of the default gateway usage.
