Hi,

I have found some mismatch in ur config..I am highlighting them..please recheck & suggest.

============================================

ur BGP AS is AS 5

ISP1 AS 1 IP 1.1.1.1

ISP2 AS 2 ip 2.2.2.2

ISP3 AS 3 ip 3.3.3.3

segment A 192.168.1.0/24

segment B 172.16.1.0/24

segment C 10.1.1.0/24

first on router 7609

creat ACLs and route maps to change the link wight

access-list 1 permit 192.168.1.0 0.0.0.255

access-list 2 permit 172.16.1.0 0.0.0.255

access-list 3 permit 10.1.1.0 0.0.0.255

route-map ISP1 permit 10

match ip address 1

set weight 100

route-map ISP1 permit 20

match ip address 2

route-map ISP1 permit 30

match ip address 3

route-map ISP2 permit 10

match ip address 2

set weight 100

route-map ISP2 permit 20

match ip address 1

route-map ISP2 permit 30

match ip address 3

route-map ISP3 permit 10

match ip address 3

set weight 100

route-map ISP3 permit 20

match ip address 1

(route-map ISP1 permit 30

match ip address 1 )-----this is one mismatch

router bgp 5

neighbor 1.1.1.1 remote-as 1

neighbor 1.1.1.1 route-map ISP1 in

neighbor 2.2.2.2 remote-as 2

neighbor 2.2.2.2 route-map ISP2 in

(neighbor 3.3.3.3 remote-as 1

neighbor 3.3.3.3 route-map ISP3 in )--this is another mismatch

no auto-sumary

sorry because i was copieng some of the commands

route-map ISP1 permit 30

match ip address 1 )-----this is one mismatch

route-map ISP3 permit 30

match ip address 2

(neighbor 3.3.3.3 remote-as 1

neighbor 3.3.3.3 route-map ISP3 in )--this is another mismatch

neighbor 3.3.3.3 remote-as 3

neighbor 3.3.3.3 route-map ISP3 in

good luck

Hi Marwan,

If i don't want to use ospf as ibgp is there any alternative??

If i use static routes into router to the lan_segments, in ASA route inside_lan_segment & route outside router_ethernet_ip & opening port TCP 179..whether it will work!

works but make sure u have two way route with static routes

and default route point to the edge route with bgp

good luck

Hi,

Whether load sharing is possible for inbound traffic using BGP??

I want to achieve the following:

Say i am accessing cisco.com via ISP1 & the return traffic finds that ISP1 route is conjusted, so return traffic will be returned via ISP2..Can this be achieved by BGP?????

Hello Partha,

>> the return traffic finds that ISP1 route is conjusted,

return traffic is actually out of your control in the big internet you can try to influence the return path by doing AS path prepending to the ISP2 you would like to be used less but this doesn't provide secure effects.

Besides this traffic is just routed and forwarded and cannot detect network conditions by itself.

There are some proposal to use BGP communities attributes to signal the access link bandwidth but BGP cannot track by itself load conditions.

Again on outbound traffic you can try to use OER (optimized edge routing) to detect the best performance link and move traffic accordingly but you cannot influence someone far from you on the internet on the return path.

Hope to help
