Hi Mark - this is exactly what I'm seeing - and it would be fine if there were 
a way to not set a static default. 

Unfortunately, when unchecking the "Default gateway" box in the system> routing 
menu, this selection isn't honoured. 

Cheers,

Hi Guys, 

First time poster to the list - I've spent some time searching without too much 
luck. Could be ambiguity in my search queries. 

I'm putting out some new firewalls shortly, and like many already in place, 
I'll be using openBGPd to interface with our provider. 

I'd like to also make use of BGP for internal failover to an alternate route, 
however, it's become evident that it's not within design to be able to have no 
"default router" selected as a static route. This is causing issues as we 
receive a default announcement from our providers, and I'd also like to use 
default announcements for alternate paths, etc, however openBGPd doesn't seem 
to want to override the already configured static route. 

Have you come up against this, and if so, what hackery did you do to work 
around it? 



I haven't used OpenBGPd, but in general routing, static routing trumps dynamic 
routing on a well-engineered platform. This could be what you're seeing. 

Mark.
