BGP failover between two circuits

EM
Level 1
Level 1

  I need please an experienced person who can help me validate this configuration for the following scenario: 2 MPLS circuits (primary and secondary) configured for active/active. I need guidance on implementing failover between the circuits using MED and local preference, or if you have a better configuration suggestion.  

Configure interfaces for MPLS circuits
interface TenGigabitEthernet0/0/0
 description Primary MPLS Circuit
 ip address 200.0.110.2 255.255.255.252

interface GigabitEthernet0/0/0
 description Secondary MPLS Circuit
 ip address 195.30.90.2 255.255.255.252

! BGP configuration for primary MPLS circuit
router bgp 65000
 bgp log-neighbor-changes
 network 192.168.10.2 mask 255.255.255.0

 neighbor 200.0.110.1 remote-as 65100
 neighbor 200.0.110.1 description Primary MPLS Neighbor
 !
 address-family ipv4
  neighbor 200.0.110.1 activate
  neighbor 200.0.110.1 send-community both
  neighbor 200.0.110.1 route-map PRIMARY-OUT out
  neighbor 200.0.110.1 route-map PRIMARY-IN in
  neighbor 200.0.110.1 soft-reconfiguration inbound
  exit-address-family

! BGP configuration for secondary MPLS circuit


router bgp 65000
 neighbor 192.168.10.1 remote-as 65200
 neighbor 192.168.10.1 description Secondary MPLS Neighbor
 !
 address-family ipv4
  neighbor 192.168.10.1 activate
  neighbor 192.168.10.1 send-community both
  neighbor 192.168.10.1 route-map SECONDARY-OUT out
  neighbor 192.168.10.1 route-map SECONDARY-IN in
  neighbor 192.168.10.1 soft-reconfiguration inbound
  exit-address-family

! Route maps for BGP attribute manipulation

! For Primary Circuit (2Gig)
route-map PRIMARY-IN permit 10
 set local-preference 200
 set metric 100

 

Thank you.

check this 

and friend config LP effect outbound traffic 

config MED dont do anything if SP or other site use route-map to control inbound traffic to your site

sorry I make you waiting 
you have one Hub dual ISP and connect to MPLS Core 
if that correct then I will run lab and share it today with you

No worries thank you much.

yes we have one hub dual ISP and connected to the spokes site via MPLS
