Configuring Static Route Tracking using IP SLA

The Reliable Static Routing Backup using the Object Tracking feature can ensure reliable backup in the case of several catastrophic events, such as Internet circuit failure or peer device failure.

This excellent article shows how to configure Static Route Tracking using IP SLA,  so your Cisco router automatically switches between different routes.
