If your only looking to get your default route from your ISP, you do not need to worry about the headaches associated with BGP. Each router will have 2 ethernet interfaces, one on your network and one on your ISP's. Each router attached to your ISP will have a default route to your ISP's gateway. Configure HSRP between your 2 routers, and then whatever router is active will route according to it's own default gateway, in the event of a failover, your hosts do not see a change in their default gateway, and the active router forwards the packets based on it's own routing table.

I have a setup that will be in a data center. They are giving us two handoffs a primary and shadow on 2 distinct subnets. These will be ethernet connections.I would like to use 2 routers running HSRP for our servers inside our network. I also want the routers to run BGP4 for fault tolerance, they do not need to load share.The only thing I want to use BGP for is to get my default gateway. The routers will need to have 2 eth interfaces each. Does anyone know the cheapest router that could do this? Thanks alot [GroupStudy.com removed an attachment of type text/x-vcard which had a name of Thomas Crowe.vcf] Message Posted at: http://www.groupstudy.com/form/read.php?f=7&i=32741&t=32029 -------------------------------------------------- FAQ, list archives, and subscription info: http://www.groupstudy.com/list/cisco.html Report misconduct and Nondisclosure violations to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
