Re: [HELP] Prepending AS path in Multihomed setup Thanks for all the replies everyone,
BGP is definitely the right solution for what I'm doing, I do not question that. This however is my first implementation of it in a production environment so I'm still learning. I think I found the problem. Neither of our ISP's have our routes configured properly, neither one knows about the other and right now, whoever comes up first is the preferred route regardless of how many prepends I have on the AS path. |

Are you announcing your routes via BGP or are your ISPs handling this? Can you explain your setup in a bit more detail? |

| Depending on the original provider who allocated the netblock in question, one ISP may be aggregating the route as part of a larger block. The second ISP is advertising the more specific prefix and thus ends up getting all the traffic. Does that sound close? |

There's not much info in the original post, I was assuming he had his own AS and netblock, but who knows... |
