Hi Frank, Assuming you have only one broadcast domain (vlan) then the uplinks to the router will create a loop but STP (if you use it) will set one of the uplinks to BLOCKED. So you will NOT have the opportunity to use both of uplinks(loadbalancing) but you will have uplink redundancy. Be carefull about the router (single point of failure) if you run critical traffic though it because if it fails then you need to think of an high availability scenario (Active-Active, Active-Standby) Take care, PaulC ...

Hi Vinayaka, I notice you used the 'as soon" expresion in your explanation therefore I would recommend using the ip sla feature from Cisco to track the remote site reachability and insert a floating static route in case it times out. ip sla monitor 1 type echo protocol ipIcmpEcho 1.1.1.1 source-ipaddr 2.2.2.2 timeout 3000 threshold 2000 frequency 5 ! ip sla schedule 1 life forever start-time now ! track 1 rtr 1 reachability For this you need to create an ip sla monitor,schedule, track it, as you can see above and change the static route to ip route 10.50.252.0 255.255.255.0 10.52.237.250 21 track 1 You will not need a route-map to set any BGP attribute and the timers for ip sla will be at your disposal to change for your environment. Take care, PaulC ... View more
