Re: Best way to have redundancy announcing on separate routers

Hi Jean,

You can establish an iBGP session between the two routers that exchange either default & own routes, or they can send 
their own routes with fulls and use local pref to preference the directly-connected transit session before routes 
learnt from the iBGP session, depending on how you want engineer your traffic. If you are not receiving full tables and 
only getting a default from each transit provider you would need to weight the defaults so it uses the preferred 
default. If you're planning to add (for example) peering or PNIs to either router in the future, you will want full 
tables for greater traffic control.

Christopher Hawker

Subject: Best way to have redundancy announcing on separate routers

Hi Folks,

I'm trying to achieve total redundancy on a multihomed environment:

ISP 1 <=> Router 1 <= X => Router 2 <=> ISP 2
Where X is my Network.

In the example below, he announces separate blocks to each ISP.

I would like to do a failover model, where if one ISP goes down the other would take over.
Please share your thoughts on this.

Best regards,
