BGP default route question

joeharb
Level 5
Level 5

We are using BGP for only the default route in our multi homed enviroment.  We have EBGP peers established from the 2 sites to our wan routers.  Everything works fine except for the fact that we have peers that are spoked off of other peers.  The far end peer's default route change be changed to ISP 1 but traffic still follows the path of the upstream router to ISP 2.  We have tried the next-hop-self command but this appears to have no affect.  The far end peer shows the correct next hop for its traffic and it has that in the routing table.  Is this not possible to send the traffic from the downstream router out one isp and the router it attached to out another?

Thanks,

Joe

if you can post a diagram will be better to understand your topology

thank you

Here is a sample layout of the network.  The issue is we would like for Remote Data Center to use a different ISP connection than Remote Colo sees for its default route.  If I need to clarify anything in the drawing, please let me know.

Thanks,

Joe

do you mean the DataCenter recieves the Default rotue thrugh IBGP thorugh colo site , and yo want the datacneter sees this defaukt route from diffrent next hop or in other words when its forwarded to the colo its get forwarded to other next hop than the one used by colo ?

i think this is a bit tricky becuase routing works hop by hop if the datacneter forward the route route to the colo then colo will use its routing table to forward the traffic

i think you may try VRFs and vrfs route leaking

allthe config in colo router

the idea is to put the link connected to the datacenter in a vrf and other links in diffrent vrf and you you will use will use inport and export through route-target between vrfs but you can now controll what default route from what next hop you will use for the datacenter vrf

kets say the dataceneter VRF called DC and other called VRF1

ip vrf DC     -- datacnter VRF
rd 1:1
route-target export 1:1
route-target import 1:1
!
ip vrf VRF1   ---other lniks VRF
rd 2:2
export map DC              - ths map will xort all route Except the defult rouete to DC VRF
route-target export 2:2
route-target import 2:2
route-target import 1:1    --- thisto imort te rute from DC

S*   0.0.0.0/0 [1/0] via 30.1.1.3   the default route now is other peer based onthe static route above

now DC send the defaultroute to colo and colo will use DC vrf routing table and send it to 30.1.1.3

good luck
