Hello, I have a customer that is asking for 2 circuits to be configured as main and protection. They also asked for the default route to be announced over BGP, and they have another provider that I know nothing of.

The situation is more or less this:

Work My-router-A --------| Customer ----- Other transit My-router-B --------| Prot

Now, for what they announce to me, they can set a MED on the outgoing route-map and it will just work.

But for what I announce to them, if they lower the localpref on the protection circuit, in case of fault all traffic will go to the other transit. As I am announcing them only the default route, can they set different MEDs on these 2 defaults in their inbound route-map ?
