[AusNOG] IOS router selection

[Beeson, Ayden]

If it's for a default gateway at layer 2 a fhrp would be a much better way to go.

For layer three static routes will work but it's definitely sub optimal, just get a routing protocol running and save yourself a bunch of trouble...

Cdp won't be useful unless the device is directly connected to all three and even then it'll be manual checks, as somebody said you might be able to tie it into ip sla metrics but it's definitely not the best way to go.

Cheers,
Ayden
