How to manipulate the metric from Ezvpn?

[Lost & Found]

Hi All,

Would like to know your inputs about this issue that I'm facing right now. So I do have 1 Cisco router configured as ezvpn client and I also have another private circuit with bgp connected to it. Both Peering (from bgp/ezvpn server) advertised a default route now since route from ezvpn has administrative distance of 1 and bgp has 20.

What would be the best solution for this?

- If i change the distance from bgp then it should be lower that 1 (not sure the minimum distance in bgp) but I think this is not the best solution.
- Set this command "reverse-route distance xx" on ezvpn but I'm not quite sure if this should be configure on server or client ezvpn (still checking).

Thank you

Hi @Lost & Found 

Simple network diagram will be helpful. So basically your goal is prefer default route coming from BGP peer on private circuit? Not sure if I get it correctly.

What routing protocol are you running between ezvpn client and server?

Hi Abzal, 

Here's a simple representation of the scenario. Yes, I want to prefer BGP over vpn. No routing protocol running between ezvpn server and client. Thanks 

             HUB -----Private------|

                                                   |   Site A/Client Router

Ezvpn Server ---------------- |

sample output:

I tried configuring reverse-route on server but some how it only changes the routes received from client not the AD being send. So I need to change on client side for received routes from ezvpn server.

Would like to know how/possible we can modify the metric on Easyvpn client other than adding new entries/more specific routes or changing it to split vpn (not sure if this will be the last resort interms of design and implementation).
