Hello,

i wonder if i am doing it correctly.

i have two bgp router connection that will go on a firewall.

how am i expected to configure everything to enable failover with load
balancing?

 (ascii art time)


[BGP1]     [BGP2]
   |                 |
   |e1             |e2
-----------------------
|          FW          |
-----------------------
             |
             |
-----------------------
|          LAN         |
-----------------------


i have configured it with
e1: A.B.C.2 gw:A.B.C.1
e2: D.E.F.2 gw:D.E.F.1

the default gw is A.B.C.1

and follow the guide here:
http://www.openbsd.org/papers/linuxtag06-network.pdf

that's my current config :)

AS 65042 --> private
router-id A.B.C.1 --> ip on wan1
network P.U.B.L/24 --> public lan
neighbor A.B.C.1 { --> bgp router1 from cogent
    descr "ISP A"
    remote-as 179
}
neighbor D.E.F.1 { --> bgp router2 from level3
    descr "ISP B"
    remote-as 3549
}


and, everything work :D
but, what's happen if e1 fail?
i can't reach lan (i have nat on P.U.B.L/24)


is that expected to work with some sort of failover or i have to do other
steps for that?

tnx, i am very beginner on that :)
