Advanced Routing Options - Wait for Clustering

In a clustering environment, Wait for Clustering has this effect:

Gaia Portal	Gaia Clish	The RouteD routing daemon
Selected	on	For ClusterXL clusters, use this setting. Does not start the routing protocols if the cluster state is down. Turns on the routing protocols after the cluster goes up.
Cleared	off	Ignores the state of the cluster. The state of the routing protocols does not depend on the state of the cluster. This is the default.

Important - Changing the setting of this option restarts the routed routing daemon. This option is for ClusterXL clusters only. Turn on this option with ClusterXL.

Advanced Routing Options - Auto Restore of Interface Routes

An interface route may be automatically deleted in error from the router kernel when it becomes reachable from another interface. The command show route in Clish shows the route, but the Expert mode command ip route does not show the route. A scenario where this can happen is when the same route is learned via OSPF and BGP.

You can avoid losing the interface routes by enabling the Automatic Restoration of Interface Routes option. By default, this option is Off.

Note: If the interface route was deleted and the option was not enabled, bring the interface DOWN and then bring it UP again using Clish, the Portal or, in Expert mode, using ifconfig.

To Automatically Restore Routes - Gaia Portal:

1. In the Gaia Portal, go to the Advanced Routing > Routing Options page.
2. In the Advanced Router Options area, select Auto Restore of Iface Routes.
3. Click Apply.

To turn on Auto Restore of Interface Routes - Gaia Clish:

1. Run: set router-options Auto-restore-iface-routes on
2. Run: save config

To turn off Auto Restore of Interface Routes - Gaia Clish:

1. Run: set router-options Auto-restore-iface-routes off
2. Run: save config

To show the state of the Auto Restore of Interface Routes option - Gaia Clish:
