I am getting two default routes from my two ISPs via BGP. Since the routes are now equal in weight/metric my outbound traffic is being balanced out both provider circuits. How can I add a weight or metric to one of the two so it becomes the preferred outbound connection?
Thanks,
Diego

Hi,
Both ISP is connected to one router and you only received default route from both not full internet routing table?
Try this...
!
route-map DEFAULT-PREFERRED permit 5
match ip address prefix-list DEFAULT
set weight 150
!
ip prefix-list DEFAULT seq 5 permit 0.0.0.0/0
!
! ...and put the route-map to your preferred ISP for outgoing traffic
!
neighbor a.b.c.d route-map DEFAULT-PREFERRED in
!
To make it work...
Router# clear ip bgp a.b.c.d soft in
Alternatively, you can block all incoming BGP advertisement from your upstream and just put a default route to both with higher AD to non-preferred ISP.
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 a.b.c.d 10 name preferred-isp
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 w.x.y.z. 20 name non-preferred-isp

You can use local preferance for that.

Thank you sir. Your route-map option did the trick!
