It works as you thought and I hoped. Thanks. It will chain.

Perfect, thanks. I just need someone's confirmation. I will disable
alerting later Today and give it a shot. I will let the list know, so that
other can know as well.

I think that should probably be added to the bb-hosts man page for the
"route:" tag, since it doesn't explain that this can work and is much better
to do.

My money says it would work as expected.  To be sure simply set a static
arp entry for 10.30.30.30, switch2 and 10.20.20.20, rtr1.  You should
see the router go red and the switch go yellow.

Hi All,

Does anyone know if the route tag in bb-hosts "chains"? I am trying to
configure the route dependencies the best way possible. Would this work?

Example:
Host is HostA and the path to HostA is RTR1,STCH2,RTR3.

bb-hosts Example (What I want to do):
10.20.20.21 HOBBIT
10.20.20.20 RTR1
10.30.30.30 SWCH2 route:RTR1
10.40.40.40 RTR3 route:SWCH2
10.40.40.41 HostA route:RTR3

So that if say SWCH2 goes down, I won't get alerts for RTR3 or HostA
(because the dependency "chains" from RTR3, to SWCH2 ....

OR, do I have to do it like the following (whole path, each time):

bb-hosts Example (What I don't really want to do but should work no
matter what):
10.20.20.21 HOBBIT
10.20.20.20 RTR1
10.30.30.30 SWCH2 route:RTR1
10.40.40.40 RTR3 route:RTR1,SWCH2
10.40.40.41 HostA route:RTR1,SWCH2,RTR3

Thanks! I don't have a test network device to try this, which is why I
am asking.
