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.
