Conditional Default routes with BGP

[alalli]

Hi All,

Is it possible with BGP to have different default-routes based on either communities or route-tagging?

For example:

network 1: 192.168.1.0 and

network2: 192.168.2.0

Is it possible for traffic originating from 192.168.2.0 to have a different default-route than 192.168.1.0?

thanks very much

Hi,

If you want to route traffic based on source addresses, you really need to use policy-based routing. BGP does not support this by itself. Remember that BGP only populates the routing table. The actual routing is done based on the contents of the routing table, which typically performs destination-based routing, unless PBR is in effect.

HTH,
