Hello,

I am looking to advertise same public

/24

from two locations with BGP setup.

SiteA connects to SiteB using MPLS by ISPX

SiteA BGP adv Public IP say 192.168.1.0/24 to ISPA
SiteB BGP adv Public IP say 192.168.2.0/24 to ISPA

Can we advertise the public subnet say

192.168.100.0/24

via SiteA as Primary? (Inbound and outbound)

Can we advertise the public subnet say

192.168.100.0/24

via SiteB as Backup? (Active only when SiteA no longer exists)

Is it possible? if so how do I setup the BGP? Can someone shed some light on this please?

Thank you.

You can advertise both but for backup path use as-prepend.

That it what you need

Thank you MHM for the response. Could you pls share more on how the config looks like?

 

Thank you for the info. Yes I do see how it can be set it up now. The existing link 'SiteA connects to SiteB using MPLS by ISPX' which is not near to the edge device, So I can't make use of it for iBGP peering between SiteA and SiteB. 

You need ibgp between siteA and siteB for outbound not for inbound.

Thank you for the insight.

BTW, you do realize

192.168.x.x is private address

space and should not be advertised to the Internet?

Assuming, though, you have a public

/24

that you can legitimately advertise to two different ISP connections, possibly BGP Conditional Advertisement, if supported on your platform, is ideally what you want to use.

Thank you for the input. Yes, we have

/24 ISP

assigned IP subnet.
