UDR when Next Hop is unreachable

Question

Hello,

I have UDR defined with NVA as the next hop type. I noticed when NVA is unreachable, the route table doesn't invalidate the UDR. Is there a way to remove the route when the defined next-hop UDR is unreachable?

Thanks,

Lei Tian

Thanks for posting your question in the Microsoft Q&A forum.

Unfortunately, Azure does not automatically invalidate or remove user-defined routes when the specified next hop becomes unreachable

UDRs are static routes that are manually configured and take precedence over system routes. They do not automatically update based on the reachability of the next hop.

Azure does not perform health checks or reachability tests on the next hop specified in a UDR.

Set up your own health monitoring system to check the availability of the NVA. If the NVA becomes unreachable, you can programmatically update or remove the UDR using Azure APIs or automation tools.
