I read somewhere that if you use route, it does something weird with
the pings so they go through that host or something?

Let me test it and see how it behaves

I'm not certain of this because I've always used FQDN.

If you have FQDN=true and are not using them, maybe the DEPENDS tag
isn't finding eto correct?

In your case, as it is conn, you can use route

1.2.32.4    customer.router.com # testip route:customer.cablemodem.com

Josh,
 Not sure what you were saying there?

 My goal is that if eto's conn goes red, that standby's conn should go
clear if it also fails.

 Does my depends statement not appear to work in that fashion?

In stanby's DEPENDS statement referring to eto - not the testing of the host.

They're both testip

Looks right to me, maybe domain related (FQDN)?

Hey all,
 I'm trying to get depends working, but it's not working the way I expect it to.

<bb-hosts snippet>
10.18.16.172            standby                 # conn testip
depends=(conn:eto/conn)
10.18.16.174            eto            # conn ssh snmp testip

eto is currently red, but standby, which is down as well, is also red.


anything specific wrong with my depends statement?  Any reason why
conn wouldn't be able to depend on something else?

Thanks!
