Route selection prefers a longest matching destination prefix ahead of less-specific alternatives explains a different situation, longest-prefix route selection, where traffic to a specific data center subnet follows the internet gateway even though a broad private summary route exists. It does not account for the specific observed sd-wan dscp handling condition at Merriton Energy Cooperative. The decisive mechanism here is: Packet QoS markings do not automatically change link steering absent a matching rule.

Set a supported maintenance-safe alternate member or route before draining the primary is a relevant remedy for a DIFFERENT problem—sd-wan preferred route during maintenance—when an operator disables a WAN member for planned maintenance but the documentation says the service is pinned to that member with no fallback. In this Merriton Utilities case that is not the failing component. Here the correct intervention is to tune supported health-check failure and recovery thresholds for stable link selection because overly sensitive probes can alternate link eligibility during transient packet loss.

The decisive mechanism here is: Overly sensitive probes can alternate link eligibility during transient packet loss.

The expected primary route is installed and a controlled failure selects the backup would validate the separate control static route distance preference, not the fault reported for Merriton Utilities.

That is the observable check related to sd-wan failover recovery hysteresis.

Route lookup identifies the tunnel interface and the branch test flow succeeds would validate the separate control wrong static route interface, not the fault reported for Merriton Utilities. To confirm this correction, the team instead needs: A simulated intermittent outage produces the intended stable hold-down and recovery.

An authorized maintenance test continues service on the approved alternate path would validate the separate control sd-wan preferred route during maintenance, not the fault reported for Merriton Utilities. To confirm this correction, the team instead needs: A simulated intermittent outage produces the intended stable hold-down and recovery. That is the observable check related to sd-wan failover recovery hysteresis.

Document route-distance intent before changing secondary links reduces recurrence of static route distance preference, rather than the observed sd-wan failover recovery hysteresis issue.
