[c-nsp] Event Manager question

[Manaf Al Oqlah]

Ryan,

I already have iBGP between the 7600's, and already use local-pref 150 for 
primary links on router1 and router2. but when the primary link from ISP1 on 
router1 goes down, I want the same subnet go through ISP1 backup link on 
Router2 ( Router2 already has local-pref 150 for ISP2 primary link),

Regards,
Manaf
