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 ?
Yes. We do that all the time for customers. Just set their inbound route
map on one of the BGP sessions to use an increased MED from the other one.
We usually create a route-map that does just that and apply it both inbound
and outbound on the backup BGP session. Simple and works great.
