Firepower FTD Path Monitoring

 

On Internet interface


1. enabled path monitoring on Outside1


2.  enabled path monitoring on Outside2




Result in CLI:
interface GigabitEthernet0/0
 nameif Outside1
 security-level 0
 ip address 192.0.2.11 255.255.255.0
 policy-route path-monitoring 9.9.9.9
!
interface GigabitEthernet0/1
 nameif Outside2
 security-level 0
 ip address 198.51.100.40 255.255.255.0
 policy-route path-monitoring 1.1.1.1

Path monitoring works with PBR together, without PBR, Path monitoring status change doesn't change routing.
for example, before configure PBR, if ISP1 has outage, Path monitoring on Outside1 fails, but the indirect circuit doesn't bring down Outside1 interface, FTD doesn't remove the ISP1 default route, traffic is still sending to the failed ISP1.


3. Add PBR




Test:
When ISP1 has outage, traffic is sending to Outside2
