Need to prefer BGP from AS1, then EIGRP, then BGP from AS-2

I have a remote WAN site who has a P2P EIGRP and a 10Mb MPLS connection.

Datacenter 1 is announcing 0.0.0.0/0 via BGP via MPLS to remote-site-A
Datacenter 1 is also announcing 0.0.0.0/0 via EIGRP via P2P to remote-site-A

Datacenter 2 is announcing 0.0.0.0/0 via BGP via MPLS to remote-site-A with multiple pre-pends.

I want to prefer DC1's 0.0.0.0/0, then EIGRP's 0.0.0.0/0, and then finally as last resort DC2's 0.0.0.0/0

Unfortunately the AD of BGP makes the route selection DC1, DC2, then EIGRP.

If I change the AD of BGP to be 171, then it becomes, EIGRP, DC1, then DC2.

I've tried changing the AD of BGP to match EIGRP, but BGP shows up as [170/0] where EIGRP shows up as [170/307200 ]. 


These are branch routers, and as such they don't support the route-map change AD  {  "set distance" command }


This one has me stumped... 

Thoughts?
Thanks,

TroyC

Hi,

what about advertising a pair of routes 0.0.0.0/1 and 128.0.0.0/1 from DC1 and 0.0.0.0/0 from DC2?

Wouldn't the "more specific route wins" rule fix your issue?

Best regards,

Milan
