Scenario 6-2: BGP and Static Routes
In this scenario, you use static routes to load balance BGP over a dual-path connection between two routers.
BGP chooses only one path to a remote network. To achieve any form of load balancing of two or more network paths, you can use static routes to the remote peer address.
Figure 6-3 displays a simple two-router BGP topology.
Figure 6-3. BGP Topology
Enable BGP on R1 and configure the network command to advertise the Ethernet IP network 131.108.1.0/24. Because you are running EBGP, synchronization is not an issue in this network. Also, to achieve load balancing, you need to peer the BGP neighbors using the ...
