11.4 Advanced Routing Examples
The following are examples of Advanced Routing.
11.4.1 Multi-WAN with BGP and Static Route
This example shows a scenario with multi-WAN topology, involving two types of
technologies for redundant connectivity -- BGP dynamic routing protocol static routing,
where each protocol runs on a different physical interface.
This type of connectivity provides redundancy and a failover option for cases where the
primary service provider fails.
Note that even though the static route should be preferred over the BGP, it is fine-tuned to
be a “floating” route only for an ISP failure scenario, through fine-tuning BGP’s
administrative distance, and the static route’s metric.
