We normally keep "maintenance" route maps for each provider on the relevant routers, and apply them before maintenance events. Inbound we apply a lower local preference, outbound we signal/request lower local preference and apply several prepends. For providers where we have multiple links, we normally keep an additional set of route maps handy that increase MED, which allows us to reconverge our traffic within the provider's network but not change our provider/provider balance. Of course, a simple no-routes route map is always available to use when we're definitely not going to use a connection. pt _______________________________________________ cisco-nsp mailing list [email protected] https://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/cisco-nsp archive at http://puck.nether.net/pipermail/cisco-nsp/
