Filter OSPF from vendor

[Bruce_Arnott_NH]

I have a pair of circuits from a vendor to our MPLS cloud.

The primary is a straight MPLS circuit at 1Gb

The secondary is now being provided on the vendors next generation network with includes local routing within the metro area.

They are provided to separate locations that are linked with private fibre. My equipment at each site sits on OSPF area 1 for the neighbor ship to the vendors CPE.

they both also have a neighborship with each other in the same process and area.

I am attempting to send traffic to a specific site through the secondary link however the secondary router prefers the rpimary for all it's routes.

I've tried using route maps to change the metrics or even remove routes from the primary CPE but nothing seems to be working, what am I doing wrong or is this even possible?

route-map MPLSv2_Site permit 20

Any ideas?

Hello Bruce,

I would try these two scenarios, it is up to you which better suits your needs:

1) configure Policy Based routing, but it has to be done on both sites so interesting traffic will be routed via backup link and not via lower cost connection (requests and also responses).

There can be problem with placing route map on interface, if desired networks are reachable via multiple interfaces, route map has to be applied to all possible interfaces.

2) I would use probably this one. Configure static routes on RTR1 and RTR2 with lower AD than OSPF (static routes will be prefered). Then I would configure IP SLA to track if backup link is working, if yes, static routes will be installed into routing table and this path will be used, if not, regular path will be used.

- with this scenario you can manipulate which traffic will take which path and with IP SLA and TRACKing you do not have to worry about failover if backup link fail.

Best Regards

hello
There seems to be some anomalies with your config

1) Your are permanently advertising a default on R1
2) same ospf cost for vlan 451 on each router
3) You are filtering on R2
4) auto cost ref bandwidth for 1gb links is giving 1gb links a cost of 10

Are these settings the result of trying to manipulate the paths?
