This isn't a complete solution though, as you've done nothing to influence the traffic that is coming back into your network. In addition to the steps mentioned below, you will want to AS-Path prepend your the connection that you want to use as the backup. This will get 99% of the traffic to come back to you via the preferred link. The only reason it isn't a 100% guarantee is because some AS's may implement a policy that overrides your as-path prepend.
I can help you set this up if you need assistance.

Puedes usar listas de acceso, route maps, o el 'neighbor weight command'. Hay un ejemplo muy bien en el sitio web siguiente: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/ics/icsbgp4.htm#xtocid20439 19 Busca por 'BGP Decision Algorithm', entonces 'Weight Attribute'. Recuerdos, Jorge Hi Alfredo, if you have two different connections (CarrierA and CarrierB) to the same destination, it would be best to configure the weight attribute. You can use either access lists, route maps, or the 'neighbor weight command' to achieve this. There is a very good example on the Cisco site, go to: http://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/cisintwk/ics/icsbgp4.htm#xtocid20439 19 Look for 'BGP Decision Algorithm' and then for the 'Weight Attribute' link.
