[c-nsp] BGP and Multihome question.

[Joseph Jackson]

Hey all,

 

            We currently have one pipe to the internet; we are getting a
second pipe for redundancy if the main link fails.  We would like to do BGP
so that if the main link were to fail our customers can still access our
websites, email, etc.

My question is this.  We have 2 /27 from our provider that we use for our
internet facing eq since they are /27's are other providers going to ignore
or BGP announces and thus defeat the entire point of having a multihomed
setup?

 

 

Thanks
