How to have create redudant route for HP Procurve Switches

[ccadit]

we have a route at the moment which directs all traffic to our internet link as below however we now have a second link how do we put this in as a redundant link if the first one goes down? I can't seem to find a definitive answer on the Internet, I have read mention of giving them both metrics?

 

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1

Do mean something like this:

 

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.1 distance 100

ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.0.2 distance 200

This is what's known as a 'floating static route' by the way, at least in the Cisco world!
