HI,

Assuming you Network as WAN Environment now,

WAN Router connected to Service Provider1 and Servier Provider2.

Last-mile is configured with OSPF as the Routing Protocol. The Remote prefixes are received via both the Service Providers cloud.

The Optimal way is to manipulate with the OSPF Cost from the CE WAN Router point.

Best Regards,

Guroo ...this issues has been opened up yesterday

Some solutions were given to you but you dropped it in the air.

Anyway, if you are so stubborn in using different subnets on the lan side of wan routers here is what you need to do.

WAN_A

router ospf 1

default-information originate metric 100

WAN_B

router ospf 1

default-information originate metric 110

This way.. WAN_A will be the prefered one.

Thanks for your kind reply.....and thanks for your help but dude just wanna add something i am not stuburn i have told you 5 times that , that is design requirment....and if u see my very first post i have already mentioned that if it was a same subnet that i would have gone for HSRP....but i guess you are not getting the point and keep insisting on somehting which i dont want.....so its not me who decides design and subnets...so i have left withno choice but to ask for solution....and i guess i got it.....
