BGP load sharing MID attribute

R Manjunatha
Level 3
Level 3

 

I have two hub routers, R1 and R2. R1 is the primary router for the office, and R2 is the backup. R1 is connected to 8000 offices through Flex VPN. My requirement is to share the load between the two hub routers, R1 and R2. Currently, I am using the BGP attribute MED to route all the traffic primarily to R1

 

R1

Rrouter 65020

bgp router id 10.10.10.10

bgp listing range 192.168.20.0/24 peer-group office

bgp listen limit 10000

address-family ipv4 vrf office

neighbor office peer group

neighbor office remote-as 65010

Neighbour office route-map office_BGP_OUT out

route-map office_BGP_OUT permit 10

set metric 100

R2

Rrouter 65020

bgp router id 20.20.20.20

bgp listing range 192.168.20.0/24 peer-group office

bgp listen limit 10000

address-family ipv4 vrf office

neighbor office peer group

neighbor office remote-as 65010

Neighbour office route-map office_BGP_OUT out

route-map office_BGP_OUT permit 10

set metric 110

FlexVPN you meaning IKEv2 ?

yes

same config as you share in your post except 
under the route-map match ip address prefix <>
this make Hub not use MED for all prefix but use MED only for specific prefix specify by match

Hi 

Could you please provide the sample configuration of how to send traffic to 4000 office to R1 and 4000 office to R2

The load not 4000 to 4000

But it 8000 prefer R1 for specific prefix

Other 8000 perfer R2 for specific prefix

This how MED work. 

I will draw topology to you today with some info.
