BGP Dual ISP fallover issue

[kumarpmt83]

i am Dhinesh,

I have one problem in one of my Network setup.

In that location cisco1841 router with two ISP with BGP.

One ISP is BSNL BGP and another one is TATA BGP. Both ISP have a seperate BGP AS number.

BSNL is connected in serial port and TATA is connected in Fast ethernet port.

We  are using BSNL as primary and TATA as Backup.When BSNL  line is down  means it  takes route to TATA.

Butafter the BSNL line came means and it is not take  automatically switchover from TATA to BSNL.

what is the solution.

can any one help me.

Hi,

are you using Provider independent addressing and your own AS ?

Can you post your config?

Regards.

" I have one problem in one of my Network setup.

Does this mean that you have your own pubic AS number (or an agreed private as with both ISPs), or are you using the neighbor xx.xx.xx.xx local-as option?

From the sounds of the issue it looks like you are not manipulating BGP at all, the easy way for you to do this would be to use Cisco Weight attribute on your primary link

Neighbor xx.xx.xx.xx weight

For growth I would recommend terminating each BGP connection on seperate routers establishing a iBGP session between them, and set the local preference on the BSNL router to anything higher that 100, this way you will get a AS wide AS exit preference

I would have a good read of this,

what weight value i give to primary link.

[neil grant]

The default weight is 0, I usually increment by 100's

neighbor 192.168.48.8 weight 100.

Then

# clear ip bgp 192.168.48.8 soft in, this will refresh you BGP table.
