Hello,
I am having a problem with my failover design. I have a remote site with an MPLS connection with BGP between the PE and CE routers. On the remote site I am running HSRP between the two routers, however there is no direct connection between the two routers, only through the layer 2 switch. If need be, I can establish a direct link between the two routers.
The backup router has a connection to a Cable or DSL carrier, and has a VPN connection back in to the data center. I am running EIGRP across the VPN tunnel and then redistributing those routes into another EIGRP system, and then finally into the BGP 65001. My problem occurs when I do a failover over the MPLS connection at the remote site. So my goal is to have the remote site be accessible from the MPLS cloud when the primary link at the remote site goes down. When it fails the remote site is accessbile through the backup path but when the primary link is restored the traffic still travels down the backup path and not the MPLS connection.
Any thoughts on a better design setup or a way to make this work the way I want would be appreciated it. If you have any questions please let me know.
Note: The top two routers in the picture above are in the data center, and the bottom two routers and switch are the remote site.
